Johnson explained that the three girls are ?flyers and mid-flyers? [which means they are] the tiny/strong girls that are in the 2nd layer of a three-person high pyramid. Jamil is always featured with his jumps and tumbling and some basing.

 

Jazzy and Amber started cheering for Coach Johnson in the 7th

grade at Kennedale Junior High. Kristin and Jamil started in their

sophomore year at Kennedale High School.

“I can?t believe I don?t get to be there to watch them!” said Johnson.

The NCA Cheer Nationals will be held in Daytona April 8th ? 12th. The competition will be telecast at a later date by CBS Sports Network.
