The Bowie High School cheerleading team, coached by Destanie Curry, attended camp July 15-18 at Texas Women’s University and came away with a lot of individual and team awards for the upcoming school year.
The camp was one designed specifically to teach leadership and to teach the team’s attending the importance of their roles as cheerleaders, not only leading crowds in cheers but being ambassadors of their school.
Star jumper finalists included Kinley Russell, Hadley Morris, Haley Henry and Kailyn Bettis. Winners included Morris, Henry and Bettis. Star tumbler finalists were Callie Curry and Russell.
Mascot prop artist, awarded to the mascot who showed the most creativity and ingenuity in the prop workshop went to Marley Austin.
