FCHS Cheer Coach Crissy Rains talks about her seniors

I have been using “unpugged” comments from coaches about their seniors.  I asked FCHS Cheer Coach Crissy Rains if I can use this, in which she posted on Facebook.  She graciously gave me permission. -sd

Tonight, we celebrated our seven, beautiful Senior cheerleaders. What a special group these young ladies have been. I’ve watched them grow up before my eyes and cannot believe that this was their last home game.

Elizabeth, was a tiny baby when I first met her. Her family would sit in front of me in church and often I would just adore her precious

self. Today, I know her heart and recognize the bright and inspiring future that lies ahead for her.

Kassy, Rheann and Fairen, have only cheered for me for the last four years, but many more on the sidelines while their sisters cheered for me, as well. They have always been spirited, serious about their craft and a lot of fun to be around. They are rooted in friendship and a deep love for cheer!

Lexi, took a year off her Sophomore year and oh how she was missed! Her gentle way, need for perfection, hard work and perseverance will never be forgotten.

Kourtney, is my candid, straight forward, beauty that makes me laugh. Her open book style has been most uplifting and refreshing because she’s so true to who she is!

And last, but furthest from least, is Dakota. This timid, meticulous, talented and genuine doll has grown so much in four years! I have pushed her out of her comfort zone and watched as she and her stunt group dominated on the floor. She never gave up and continually strived to extend her personal best, even when it was really scary and sometimes, overwhelming.

They are lovely, talented, smart and funny! They have made me proud and prideful! Today and always, they will remain in my heart and I wish them the very best in their incredibly bright futures!
