Award-Winning LBHS Varsity Cheer Seeks Banner Sponsors

Submitted story by Melissa Cavanaugh.

Laguna Beach High School Varsity Cheer, under the direction of Yvette Perez, took away top honors recently at a four-day UCA Cheer Camp at Loyola Marymount University.

In the Traditional Varsity category, they won four first-place awards in the areas of Home Routine, Extreme Routine, Cheer and Most Spirited.

Kaleigh Bisconti, recent LBHS grad and one of last year’s captains, was responsible for the Home Routine choreography. The team, made up of two seniors, two juniors, four sophomores and seven freshmen, is led this year by captains Megan Cavanaugh, Kate Monahan and Sharlene Zarrabi.

The 15-girl squad recently wrapped up eight days of “boot camp” consisting of four-hour conditioning, stunting and cheer practice sessions to prepare for the upcoming football season.

To help defray uniform, equipment and competition costs, the team is currently seeking sponsorships from the community at the $250, $500 or $750 levels. The sponsor’s logos will be displayed prominently at Guyer Field on view for all home games starting September 7.

Those interested in sponsorship opportunities should contact Yvette Perez at yperez@lbusd.org or 949.497.7750.
