Slamming the door shut on defense.

Nastali slides into action.

The enthusiasm fairly bubbles out of Heather Nastali.

The Coupeville High School sophomore, who celebrates a birthday today, was seemingly born to be a cheerleader.

One of two sports she’s lettered in (Nastali is also a key member of the CHS softball team), cheer gives the soft-spoken young woman a chance to get loud ‘n proud, kick-starting the pro-Wolf crowd.

She’s adapted quickly to the cheer game and become an integral part of the squad.

Over the past year, even the fans in the stands have been able to see her confidence grow with each game, whether it be cheer or softball.

Heather always comes across as a smart, very friendly young woman who is deeply committed to everything she does.

That shows in her interactions with her large, fun-loving family, and in her daily dealings with her teammates.

As she hits a major cake day, the future is wide open for Nastali.

A hard worker and a genuinely sweet person, Heather deserves all the accolades and all of our support.

So, Miss Nastali, I hope your birthday is a great one, and I, along with all the other fans out there, look forward to seeing you continue to awe and amaze us.
