Warhill’s competition cheer team competes at least five times every season. For the 2021 season, the competition team got a new coach. Since the 2021 season, the competition team has lost at least one person every week due to an injury or other situation which left the person unable to compete. For the last three years this has been going on every competition week. This year is no different. The first two competitions of the season the competition curse hit the team. The third competition, the Bay River District championship, allowed the team to finally break the curse. “Having an all-girl team is hard because the team can butt heads sometimes, but I feel that it can be like that due to all the quick changes and stress that comes up during comp week,” said Coach Hannah Lisagor.
