CHS Cheer 2020 5A-6A State Champions

For the first time in school history, the Cabot High School Cheer Team is STATE Champions!

On December 19, Cabot Cheer took home the State Championship in the 5A-6A Game Day Division at the 2020 State Competition in the Bank OZK Arena in Hot Springs.

The competition was divided into three parts. All teams had 3 one-minute routines that they performed; a band chant, crowd leading, and fight song. Cabot has competed in this Game Day specific competition for the past three years, placing fourth overall in 2018 and last year falling to fifth place.

The Cabot Cheer Team learned the routines they performed at State back in July and have been practicing and perfecting them since then. Cabot Cheer coaches Ashley Cooper and Kristen Sumler could not be prouder of this team and their commitment from day one. Coach Cooper said the girls really bought into this program and ran with it. Everyone knew this year was going to be challenging with COVID so they took things one day at a time and were grateful for whatever season they were allowed.

With COVID restrictions the cheer team did their very best to follow guidelines and with masks and following social distancing guidelines. In classrooms, they sat apart from others so they would not run the risk of being quarantined. When Cabot went to the State Tournament in December, they luckily had a full roster with all 27 members competing.
