Cheerleaders put a ring on it

For the third time in the last four seasons, the UPIKE cheerleading team won the Mid-South Conference Team Championship in 2016. It was a special day Saturday, Nov. 5 for this group as they received their championship rings on senior day during halftime of the men’s football game.
Winning a championship in anything is a special accomplishment.
“Winning the championship and earning the rings was just an incredible experience; what made it more special is that we lost a lot of our girls, so we had to prepare a brand new routine weeks before the competition,” Whitney Back, senior, said.
Back joined the team last year. The UPIKE cheerleading team returns most of the women this year as they look for another championship run. They’re led at the helm by Head Coach Jeannie Stone.
