“Remember The Alamo” will always have a special meaning for two Lavaca Jr High Cheerleaders. Friday December 28th 2018 at 8:00 PM CST, ESPN will be airing the Valero Alamo Bowl live from San Antonio Texas. It should be a good game between the Big 12’s 24th ranked Iowa State Cyclones and the PAC 12’s 13th ranked Washington State Cougars. But the halftime act could steal the show. You will not want to miss it. This year the halftime show will bring together a cast of over 1,000 high school musicians, dancers and cheerleaders from across America. Two of which are from Lavaca Arkansas.
The Lavaca Golden Arrow Cheer squad is deep with talent. Coached by Danielle Overton, their hard work is evident and has paid off in a big way. Not only did Coach O’s team perform on the sidelines during football and basketball games this year, but they also competed in 5 competitions and brought home a State championship. They also had four of the Junior high cheerleaders and five of the High School Cheerleaders qualify as B2 All Americans. Those All Americans are: from the JR High;
Rylie Green, Selena Shelly, Payton McMahan, and Reshia Sparkman; and the Varsity qualifiers are; Morgan Taylor, Taylor Lile, Ali Simpson, Austin Walchli , and Allie Colclasure.
All nine of Lavaca’s All Americans have all been invited to participate in the halftime show for the Alamo Bowl in San Antonio on December 28, 2018. However, only Rylie Green and and Selena Shelly will be participating this year.
The B2 All Americans have arrived in San Antonio for the Alamo Bowl Performance Tour! The group enjoyed dinner on the famous Riverwalk last evening at Casa Rio! Today will be a full day of rehearsal and preparation for what will be an incredible show. See Itinerary below.
