Coach Cheridan Eck’s team numbers 30, including nine returnees.

Back are seniors captain Allison Dickson, captain Sylvia Hurlburt, spirit captain Jovanah Foote, Maddy Neitzel and Jazmine Franklin. Foote and Hurlburt are four-year team members.

Returning juniors are Kiara Burdge, Lainey Dickson and Robin Cedillo. Naika Hallam also returns after taking last year off.

Each of the 21 new members “brings something unique to the team,” Eck said.

Among the newcomers is Julia Borge, an exchange student from Brazil.

“This season is all about ‘ohana,’ which means family,” Eck said. “I’m focusing on the sisterhood of cheerleading and how important it is to be a team.”
