HISTORY
BUILDING A LEGACY |
||
|
In the fall of 1998, three dedicated high school cheerleading coaches packed up their pom poms and megaphones to chase a dream that would soon become a reality. Keyshia Brunson, Katina Brunson Archie, and Ray Mills raised the bar of cheerleading in South Georgia to the next level. On October 31, 1998, the first tryout was held in a local dance studio to pick 25 of the most talented and dedicated cheerleaders in our area. Late nights and long weekend practices soon formed what is now Cheer South All-Stars. In just two years local communities were educated about the true competitive sport of cheerleading.
After moving from our first recreation facility, we jointly shared a facility
with a local gymnastics program and added on our second team in the fall of
2000 - the Cheer South Juniors. Our program was on the move and we hired our
fourth coach, Shazia Alvi. We were soon spreading our name across the nation
when our senior team captured a National Championship title and several other
wins.
In the fall of 2002,
our dream became a reality when the doors of our own gym finally opened. Cheer
South All-Stars Athletic Training Facility, a state of the art competitive
cheerleading facility, would now be what we call our home! We hired two more
coaches for our youth team, Marvee Alvi and Ashley Buckner, to assist with
our talented young girls. It was soon after that when Trayvis Manuel joined
our family to assist Katina with the junior team. Our dream of building a
competitive cheerleading dynasty had been achieved and we continued to grow
with every year.
GO PANTHERS! |
