Cheerleading competition at FHS
Red Devils advance to LI Champs.
WE’VE GOT SPIRIT: The Freeport Devils cheerleaders steady themselves in a human pyramid during a Long Island cheerleading competition held at Freeport High School. The team will be advancing to the Long Island Championships.
The Long Island Cheerleading Coaches Association (LICCA) held its 12th Annual Varsity and Junior Varsity Cheerleading Competition at Freeport High School, with the Freeport Devils taking on Mepham, Kellenberg, Seaford and Bellmore Kennedy, among other Long Island high schools, in the Large Varsity category.
The annual competition ended with Freeport placing seventh overall. “We had two falls, so we unfortunately didn't do as well as we usually do,” said Freeport cheerleading coach Laurie Kolodny. “We have also placed fourth and third this year, which qualifies us for the Long Island Championships at Suffolk Community College on February 4.”
Freeport High School has a longstanding tradition of producing high-ranking teams in the cheerleading competitions. Over the past few years, the Freeport cheerleaders have competed on both the regional and national levels.
Locally, they are an enthusiastic presence at Freeport High School’s varsity football and basketball games. Freeport High School graduate and New York Jets offensive tackle D’Brickashaw Ferguson is among the sponsors of the Freeport team.
