Loud ‘n proud to the end.
Coupeville High School senior cheerleaders Julie Bucio, Moira Reed and Kaley Grigsby bowed out Thursday, but not before bringing their customary spirit to the proceedings.
The trio were honored before the Wolves clashed with Granite Falls, hailed for making it through their final season and for all they brought to the program.
While they might have been front and center at football games, none of the three could have accomplished what they did without the support of many, something for which they were all thankful.
“This has been an amazing experience and I’m glad I joined my freshman year and stuck with it till my senior year,” Bucio wrote in her farewell message.
“I’ve learned a lot throughout these past years,” she added. “I couldn’t have done it without those people who showed me their ways and certain people who took me under their wing since freshman year and helped me not get lost in high school.”
Grigsby and Reed offered similar sentiments, with the latter capturing what cheer has meant to all of them.
“I never joined the team for the popularity, the uniform or for the title of being a cheerleader,” Reed said. “I joined to have a family away from home.
“To my fellow cheerleaders, keep your head high and your chin up. Thanks for all the memories and making my senior year the best.”
