BEREA, OHIO -- In her first season as the varsity cheerleading coach, Sami Gougler is hoping to take her Yellow Jacket team to new heights.
"The cheerleading program has made great strides over the past three years due to the hard work of former coach, Amy Hafner," said Coach Gougler, a 2005 graduate of the College. "I look forward to the challenge of continuing that success.
"We have set a lot of goals for this year," continued Gougler, who directs both the squad that cheers at B-W football and men's basketball games as well as its performance team. "We've formed a competition squad and plan to compete at three regional events. There will be a big emphasis on more challenging material while keeping in line with all the new safety regulations."
In competition cheering, the Yellow Jackets will jump, dance and perform stunts.
"Between our football, basketball and competition squads, this program is filled with hard working, strong, dedicated women that make success inevitable," said Gougler. "I feel that with the amazing talent we have, the leadership we come from, and the experience in the coaching staff, this year will be filled with great success."
