Resolution to laud cheerleading team

Arkansas’ 94th General Assembly is about to honor the North Little Rock High School cheerleading team.

Senate Resolution 37 would recognize the North Little Rock High School Charging Wildcats cheerleaders for winning the 2022 6A All-Girl State Cheerleading championship on Dec. 16, 2022, at the Hot Springs Convention Center in Hot Springs.

The cheerleaders have won three consecutive 6A All-Girl State Cheerleading championships. Nationally, they placed 18th at the Universal Cheerleaders Association competition in Orlando, Fla., and, in 2023, placed fourth at the National Cheerleaders Association competition in Dallas.

Cheerleaders cited in the resolution are Caroline Jolly, Julia French, Abby Schaefer, Anna Baggett, Tiyah Green, Abrielle Crump, Haley Jordan, Kylie Sartain, Aspen Frensley, McKenna Chism, Iyuana Jones, Kamryn Cottrell, Amaya Kindle, Revell Hogan, Emma Dill, Mallori Holloway, Avery Bilon and Tori Moody, as well as the head coach, Missy Sela.

“I am so proud of these young ladies and to be their coach,” Sela is quoted as saying in the resolution. “Being the three time state champs is not an easy feat. It takes a lot of hours of practice to get ready for competition season. They give it all they have, all while maintaining stellar grades. We endured the tragic loss of one of our members, Tori Moody, but this team came together and dedicated this season to her memory. I cannot say enough about their resilience.”

Moody died in October 2022, less than three months after her 18th birthday, of an apparent pulmonary embolism.
