DeSoto Parish cheer coaches put together parish-wide camp
Cheerleaders from North DeSoto Middle School, Mansfield Middle, Stanley High and Logansport High combined to conduct a week-long Universal Cheerleaders Association camp on North DeSoto’s campus in late June.

More than 50 middle and high school cheerleaders and their coaches came together to learn and bond with each other.

The idea came from North DeSoto Middle cheerleading coach Hannah Kempf with the help of Logansport coach Codi Ward and Stanley coach Dixie Pierce.
