Our team's quote this year was Hammer Time, a nod to our mascot, the Craftsmen, and that energy carried us throughout the entire season! We were absolutely thrilled to win this year at AmeriCheer Internationals. This was our second time competing at Internationals, and the experience was truly second to none. Staffer Dylan, pictured with one of our hammer props below, ran our B-P Cheer Home Camp this summer, and the skills our athletes learned there were implemented throughout both the fall and winter seasons…all the way to Internationals. We are incredibly grateful for the experience, the memories, and the opportunities AmeriCheer continues to provide our program.

We are honored to be crowned the winner of AmeriCheer's new Game Day Hot Shot Award for the HS Non-Build Division! Our goal this season was to perform each routine better than the one we had done before, bring the energy, and have fun every time we took the mat. We had a great team dynamic, led by our 4 amazing seniors, and are thrilled to be recognized for our hard work this season in a very competitive division. 

We are ecstatic to receive this award. We are small but mighty. Our girls have worked so hard this season and overcame schedule changes, teammates dropping out and constant changes to the routine, and they persevered. It is awesome to see them recognized for their hard work, commitment and spirit they brought this season. We loved competing with Ameri cheer. The atmosphere was fun and exciting and we did not feel alone the crowd jumped right in and helped us out with everything we were screaming. 

This award is an incredible honor for our middle school team and our program as a whole. Our girls have worked incredibly hard this season to improve with each competition and I am ecstatic that they now have this award to show for all their hard work! Since our team is comprised of all 8th graders, I can’t think of a better end to their season, and middle school cheer, than this!

Coach Grace, who has led the LMS Cheer team to every competition victory, was also named as AmeriCheer’s Coach of the Year at the 2026 Ohio Grand Championship. 
Her athletes were also the junior high champions in the Cleveland West Conference! This was the first time middle school could participate, so they won the inaugural title. 

Olivia is so full of talent, both in cheer and with her tumbling skills! We always enjoy watching her perform, and it is such an amazing honor and privilege to see her come out on top as a HOT SHOT Winner! She has been such an important part of our cheer program all four years of her high school career! She has brought so much ability and expertise to our teams, and her consistent work ethic not only helped her continue to grow but also was encouraging to her teammates to do the same! We are SO proud of Olivia and all that she has accomplished through cheer over the years!

Bayleigh is a born leader and a natural at both cheer and dance! We always enjoy watching her perform, and it is such an amazing honor and privilege to see her come out on top as a HOT SHOT Winner! She has been such an important part of our cheer program all four years of her high school career! She has brought so much energy and enthusiasm to our teams, and her positive mindset has not only helped her overcome challenges but also allowed her to support her teammates in doing the same! We are SO proud of Bayleigh and all that she has accomplished through cheer!

Riley is a joy to coach! She brings amazing athleticism and a positive attitude to every practice and competition. We are always proud watching her perform at competitions and loved seeing her tumble in the Hot Shots division this year!
