Golden gators

The Junior Varsity Gators spirit squad has been filled with enthusiasm this fall, cheering on the Spring Branch-Memorial Sports Association Gators tackle team. The squad performed a dance routine to a favorite song, “Golden,” from KPop Demon Hunters, keeping fans engaged and energized for the blue and orange. Squad members include students from second to fifth grade from Wilchester Elementary and Nottingham Elementary. Pictured are (pictured, back row, from left) Harper Griffith, Morgan Rue, Annabelle Davis, Nayali Lozano; (front row, from left) Georgia McQueen, Ruby Griffith, Emili Harper, and Drew Atkinson, and Abigail Kerr (not pictured). The team is coached by Stratford High School cheerleader Natalie Money and Memorial High School cheerleader Sophia Christenson.
