Nocona High School’s cheerleading squad participated in the University Interscholastic League cheer competition last week in Fort Worth and placed 14th in the state.
Recognized under the UIL spirit umbrella each school competes in their UIL classification. Sponsor Rebecca Wilson said there were 72 teams in the 2A division and it began with a qualifying round with the top 20 advancing to the finals.
In the qualifying round the teams are judged on a band chant, a cheer that includes crowd involvement and a fight song explained Wilson. The final had the same criteria but added a situational chant.
“I am super proud of them. They have worked hard with very little time off,” added Wilson.
