Student Head Coach 

My name is Avery Heath and I am so excited to be one of the 6th grade student coaches this year! I have been cheering since the 6th grade as a Jr Raider Cheerleader as well as throughout high school. My final season will be this year which will conclude my 7th year of cheerleading! I could list many things that I love about cheerleading, but my favorite part is the friendships and bonds you create with your teammates as well as your coaches. Cheerleading is a great way to make lasting friendships and meet many knew people who will be there to support you. I am very excited to be a part of the Jr Raiders Jr Coaching staff to meet new people, and make every Jr Raider Cheerleader have the best season they could possibly have. We are going to have a great season!

Student Head Coach

I’m Addie Allen and I’m a rising junior at Alpharetta High School! I love cheerleading and have been on the sideline for going on six years. My favorite thing about cheer is the rush you experience on game days and interacting with the crowd. I’m beyond excited to be coaching again for the second year this season and look forward to getting to know the 7th grade squad!

Student Head Coach

My name is Rachel Firestone and I am in eleventh grade. I have been cheering for six years. I love cheering because I like being involved with pumping up the crowd and getting the fans excited for the game. I know the guys on the field appreciate the show of support. I am excited to be involved with the Jr Coaching staff this season because I want to give the girls the kind of experience that I had with the Jr Raider program. I always felt prepared for game days and I felt close to my Jr Coaches. If I ever needed anything, I knew that a Jr. Coach was there to help. I’m looking forward to having fun with the girls this season.

Student Coach In-Training

Hi, my name is Alahna Watson. I’ve cheered all 3 years of middle school and I love cheering because that’s where I met most of my friends that have turned into family and I wanted a new experience. I’m very excited to be apart of the Jr. Coaching cheer staff because I get to be a coach to younger girls like I wanted to when I first started the program.

Student Coach In-Training

My name is Emily Firestone and I am in ninth grade. I started cheering with the Jr. Raider program when I was in sixth grade. I love cheering because it truly is a team sport. I have made many lasting friendships. Game days are so much fun and it’s a chance to show off our school spirit as we support the football team. I am so excited to be a part of the Jr Coaching staff this season because I have the best memories of my time in the program. I really want to give back and make it just as fun and exciting for the new season of girls, as my Jr Coaches made it for me. I remember how nervous I was about learning all of the cheers and chants in the beginning. My Jr Coaches made it easy and gave me a ton of support. I am excited to get started with the season and look forward to helping the girls any way I can.
