We hope the girls enjoyed the shoot. Due to the rain, we had to change our shoot location at the last minute and we appreciate their willingness to drive to the other end of the county. Also, we appreciate their help in organizing a stunt. They were all willing to get creative and get it done.
We would like to thank Bonnie Garrett at Cobb County School District and Coach Jim Dorsey at McEachern for permission to use the McEachern field, even though we were not able to at the last minute. Also, we want to thank the Cheerleading Head Coaches at each of these schools. As you can see, they sent us wonderful young ladies. Paulding should be very proud the fine young women who are representing this great County!
***Check pages 18 and 19 for the game schedules for each school. We hope you’ll take the opportunity to attend one of the games.
