2018 NCA High School Nationals

Azle Cheer competed at the NCA High School National Competition on January 27th and 28th. They competed in two different divisions. In the GameDay Division Azle took home the 3rd Overall Title.  Individual category places were 3rd in Time Out Dance and 4th for both the Time Out Cheer and Fight song.

It hasn't been since 2004 that Azle Cheer has competed at Nationals in the Performance Division. The team did a great job and learned a lot from the experience. Though they did not place at the top, they did get inspired by the level of competition that the National competition brings.

Azle Cheer And Hornet Muscle are 2X UIL State Medalist

Azle Cheer competed in the UIL State Competition and received the Silver medal in 5A/6A Large Coed Division. Azle was one of three 5A schools in the division and the only 5A school to place. The team executed an almost perfect routine, but was edged out of the gold from Lewisville High School, which placed 5th last year. Coach McPherson could not be more proud of the team and their heart for the sport of cheer. Their performance on the mat and their sportsmanship off the mat set them apart from other teams. It was a joy to watch the Azle team congratulate, wish teams good luck, and take the first initiative to meet other teams. Their true sportsmanship shined and they represented AHS in the most honorable fashion at the competition!

Azle Cheer will have a rematch with Lewisville at the UCA National competition in February. THe team will be working hard to bring home the National Title!

Over Thanksgiving break the Azle Cheer and Hornet Muscle team competed at the North Texas Regional UCA Championship. We went up against 12 other teams in our division from across North Texas, including the reigning 2016 UCA National Champions.

Azle Cheer came home with 1^st place in the Game Day Division and qualified for UCA Nationals held at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida this February. The kids have been fundraising all summer to pay their way to Orlando in hopes of earning a bid and are excited to take their first trip ever to UCA Nationals.

Before Nationals, we will be defending our state championship title at the UIL State Championship January 11^th and 12^th at the Fort Worth Convention Center in the 5/6A Large Co-Ed Division.
