Congratulations to Cheer’s Lacey Ellerbee on being named Athlete of the Week! Coaches Dau and Hicks said, “Lacey Ellerbee is a senior leader in THREE of our varsity cheerleading programs. On the traditional competition team, Lacey’s commitment to her tumbling and willingness to learn and perfect her full (largely difficult!) has led to her throwing it during competitions and increasing our entire team’s running tumbling score as a result. On the varsity football sidelines, Lacey never ever EVER misses an opportunity to interact with our junior/youth Bucs—they often stand outside of the fence and mirror her due to the relationships she has fostered as a coach for youth cheer. Lacey shows a lot of leadership and selflessness on Fridays and is ALWAYS working to make us 1% better. Lastly, on our varsity Game Day team, she works diligently to show leadership as she leads our team in warm-ups every practice. She is the first to step in, help, show a newer cheerleader how to do something, and carries herself with so much grace.”

Lacey offers the following advice to younger athletes,“Always work hard and push yourself to be the best that you can be.” Congratulations to Lacey!
