TRINA MELTON We had another outstanding cheer coaches conference at the Opryland Hotel in Nashville. There were coaches from middle schools and high schools that attended some great sessions with phenomenal speakers. Three coaches and an administrator were honored at the Awards Luncheon during the conference. The East Tennessee Coach of the Year was awarded to Raycean Hollis of Dobyns-Bennett High School where she has been the varsity and junior varsity cheerleading coordinator, sponsor, and head coach for the last three years. While fulfilling her duties as a classroom teacher, she commits the time required to coach the varsity cheerleading squad and the competition cheerleading squad.During the past three years at Dobyns-Bennett, Raycean has developed two National Athletic Championship squads. Her squad placed 2nd at the 2000 and 2001 TSSAA State Championships and placed 3rd in the 2002 State Championship. Her cheerleaders have received three top awards and her 2002-03 squad placed 6th at NCA High School Nationals on their first attempt. She has had 48 NCA All-Americans and four cheerleaders who received NCA Staff Application Awards. She has had two RAYCEAN HOLLIS Dobyns-Bennett cheerleaders make university squads in dance and cheerleading. Raycean is a tireless worker, a team player and possesses a genuine love for her students and cheerleaders, while married to Damon they have a daughter, Haden who is 10, and a son, Skylar who is 8. Two of her major gifts are a very positive personality, and a tireless work ethic in which she strives for perfection. Teachers and coaches are constantly mentioning how great Raycean is to work with. The cheerleading community at Dobyns-Bennett is one that uses a “pulling together” type of atmosphere, which is directly attributable to Raycean. Raycean’s cheerleading squads are always seeking ways to support their school’s athletes and to help maintain the high degree of success. She continues to tweak the cheerleading program’s constitution and continues to work toward raising the code of conduct expectations for her cheerleaders. The Middle Tennessee Coach of the Year was given to Grace Pack of Lebanon High School. Grace has been a leader and coaching cheerleading for 30 years. Her involvement has helped students excel academically and athletically. Her efforts always provide the motivation to have students obtain excellence. As a member of the Lebanon High School faculty, Grace sponsored the Beta Club for 15 years, was director of the Academic Banquet for ten years, kept the scorebook for all freshman and varsity basketball games for eight years, and organizes the Junior/Senior Prom. She has taught all levels of mathematics including AP Calculus and serves as chairman of the Math Department. In the community she has been involved with Dixie Youth Baseball for ten years. In addition to all of her activities, she has raised three successful children and has three grandchildren. Grace has been the varsity or freshman cheerleading coach for 14 years. She leads her squads to superior status in all capacities. She truly has a gift of helping athletes meet and exceed all expectations. Her leadership demands respect, dedication, and hard work. She expects her cheerleaders to be leaders in the school showing high moral character as well as academic achievement. Her squads have placed several times in cheerleading competitions such as the Smokey Mountain Cheerleading competition, UCA camp competitions, and TSSAA competitions. As a coach, she produces GRACE PACK Eighth Annual Cheer Coaches Conference quality squads that any school would be proud to have. The West Tennessee Cheer Coach of the Year was 20 awarded to Christie Plunk of McKenzie High School. Christie has been coaching cheerleading for eight years. She graduated as Salutatorian from Adamsville High School in 1991. She was a cheerleader for four years and captain her senior year. Christie received her B.S. in Education with emphasis in mathematics from Freed- Hardeman University in 1992 and received a M.A. in Education from Bethel College in 1999. Christie is married to Anthony Plunk and they have one child, Payten. Christie has taught math and has been the cheerleading coach at McKenzie High School since 1997. Her first job as coach was to create a cheerleading manual, which delineated the role, responsibilities, and CHRISTIE PLUNK expectations of a cheerleader at McKenzie High School. Christie has worked tirelessly to upgrade the cheerleading program in her school. She has built the cheerleading program by sponsoring fund-raising such as candle sales, ice cream sales, and clothing with the school’s mascot attached. She has always had summer camp and work sessions for her cheerleaders and has scheduled practices once or twice a week throughout the year and also attends coaching seminars at UCA summer camps. Since she sponsors cheerleaders for football and basketball seasons, she works year-round at a job that pays little monetarily in return. Christie’s squads have consistently competed in the TSSAA State Cheerleading Competitions in Murfreesboro. Her cheer squad placed 3rd in 1997 in the Nonbuilding division of the TSSAA competition and this past year her cheer squad finished first place in the Cheer Non-building division. Along with all of her cheerleading awards, Christie works equally as hard in her assignment as math teacher and was named the Teacher of the Year in 2002. Cheerleading coaches are encouraged each year to nominate an administrator at their school if they feel that they are supportive of their program and dedicated throughout the year. This year’s administrator’s award was given to Julia Nicholson of Montgomery Central High School in Cunningham. Julia has been in education for 22 years. She has coached girls basketball on all levels for 15 years. She is currently the Assistant Principal and Athletic Director at Montgomery Central High School in Cunningham, Tennessee. Julia is the District 10 AA Coordinator and Region 5 Coordinator for the TSSAA and is a member of the TIAAA and NIAAA. In 2001, Julia received the Tennessee Award of Merit from the National Interscholastic Athletic Administrator’s Association. Julia is well organized, professional and personally involved in all of the athletic programs at Montgomery Central High School and treats each group with special care and respect. Cheerleaders at Montgomery Central feel that Julia has been a breath of fresh air for the cheerleading program. Because of her JULIA NICHOLSON leadership, the cheerleading squad has become a nationally ranked team with widespread community and school support. Julia has dedicated exorbitant amounts of time and energy to the cheerleading program, going far beyond the call of duty, and is enthusiastic in doing so. For the past two years, Julia has traveled to UCA Nationals in Florida with the cheerleading squad to lend the support of the schools administration. She is extremely professional and well organized, creating coaches handbooks and conducting in-service for all coaches. For schools to have successful cheerleading programs, it is important to have the support and respect of an administrator like Julia Nicholson that goes above and beyond the normal call of duty.
