MBJH freshman cheer squad attends UCA camp

The Mountain Brook Junior High Freshman Cheer Squad had a successful week at UCA cheer camp this year. This was Mountain Brook’s 11th year to attend camp at Mississippi State University in Starkville, Mississippi. 

The squad came away with multiple awards including The Top Banana, winning the Iron Quad competition, daily Spirit Stick winners, and second place JV division in Extreme Routine. 

In the Junior High/JV division, they earned the Leadership Award. Cece Kelly received the “Pin It Forward” award. Jules Campbell, Marilyn Joyce, Katie Ramsbacher and Georgia Stewart were selected as All-American Cheerleaders.

Helen Pruet has coached the freshman cheerleaders for 23 years. She has served them well and is a huge reason for their success. When asked about the camp, she said Mountain Brook cheer items were popular among the UCA cheer staff, including one instructor who took the hat right off Pruet’s head.
