Another year in the spotlight.
Coupeville grad Mica Shipley was back front and center Saturday, kicking off her third season as an NCAA D-I cheerleader.
She and her teammates brought the noise and the pride in Cheney, as Eastern Washington University football rallied to beat visiting Tennessee State 36-29 in the season opener.
The game included a 55-minute lightning delay.
The Eagles, who are looking for a 16th straight winning season, have a jam-packed schedule of big-time games on the horizon.
Two in particular stand out.
EWU travels to Eugene to face the University of Oregon Sept. 10 and plays the University of Florida in Gainesville Oct. 1.
Shipley, the most electrifying woman in sports entertainment, is a junior at EWU.
During her time in Coupeville, she was a cheer captain and helped lead the Wolves back to being a competition squad after a seven-year gap.
Shipley and Co. earned third place at the state meet during her junior season, before competing at nationals the next year.
The cheer supernova also modeled for Glitter Starz, a national leader in custom all-star uniforms, warm-ups, and other cheer essentials.
