Before tonight’s game, we proudly recognized the 1995 State Champion Competition Cheerleading team, led by Coach Patti Gilmer.
This group helped build the foundation of Calhoun’s Competition Cheer program—bringing home a State Championship just one year after a state runner-up finish. Today, Calhoun holds 7 state titles, the most of any sport at CHS.
Thank you ladies for coming home to celebrate this milestone. Once a Jacket, always a Jacket! 🐝
