On Sept. 28, The Rockbridge County Cheer Team competed in their second cheer competition of the season. The ‘Cats, competing at Spotswood High School, placed third out of ten teams from all over the state and second out of the teams in their district, falling to Spottswood. East Rockingham County won overall at the competition.

Freshman Addie Flint said, “Our last [competition] went very well. We made lots of improvements from the first competition.”

The team plans to compete on Oct. 6 at Turner Ashby High School. This will be the first district cheer competition of the season as the ladies compete for the single spot to regionals. Over the next three district competitions, the Cheer Team will be fighting for points against other teams that will eventually determine the winner of the District and who continues onto Regionals.

Flint said, “The next [competition] will go even better. Everyone is starting to get used to being on the mat and working together.”

Join the Cheer Team as they compete against five other teams on Oct. 6. The competition starts at 6:00 p.m. and the team plans to perform at 6:50 p.m..

Senior Ella Vaught is The Prowler’s 78th Head Managing Editor for the class of 2021-2022. Despite Vaught’s lack in confrontational skills, she is excited to lead The Prowler Staff this year, and maybe even learn to enjoy bossing them around. Outside of class, she is often found doing homework, stressing out about homework, sleeping, or probably enjoying being in a body of water. As a member of the RCHS Swim team, Vaught has learned to love the smell of chlorine and holding her breath for long amounts of time. In addition to homework and swimming, Vaught can be found hanging out with her friends, or at least driving to hang out with her friends, because they all live on the other side of the county. After highschool, Vaught plans on becoming a professional dishwasher due to her time spent at a summer camp where she washed dishes for a month and somehow loved every bit of it. If you see her out and about, ask her about the experience, and you too may have dreams of becoming a professional dishwasher after your conversation.
