TaylorMill Cheerleading wins it all!



On Saturday, Oct 8 at Ryle High School the Newport Firefighters Cheerleaders hosted the annual NKYFL Cheerleader competition. 38 squads participated with a special appearance by the Brave Cats Special Olympics team of Kentucky All-Stars of Northern KY. There were two levels of competition: Level 1 (limited gymnastics) and Level 2 (advanced gymnastics). The morning session was Level 1 with 20 squads beginning with Starters Squads and ending with the Senior Squads.

The Taylor Mill Eagles, their first year at the competition and in the NKYFL, surprised everyone and WON almost every category as well as the Grand Prize for Level 1 with the highest score. They only had two squads to participate, Starters and Pidgets but WOW’D the crowd with top quality performances.
