Epping cheerleaders passionate about their sport

he Epping High School cheerleading squad … where do you begin?

They’re led by seniors Allie Bradley, Kristin Boomhower, Shaun O’Regan, Chelsea Campbell and Brandi Paige. They’re coached by head coach Kathy Sicard, JV coach Kim Fraser and assistant coach Teresa Bradley.

They’re numerous, a squad of 28, which makes it the largest girls program at the school. Almost half the team is related in some form or manner. They’re passionate about the sport. They cheer because they want to and its fun. They work hard. They’re loud and not shy about being heard.

Their “Cheer Bible” is the movie “Bring it On.”

And they’re good.

Last year they finished runner-up at the state’s Class M Fall Spirit competition.

“The biggest thing is team camaraderie,” said Sicard, who is in her 24th season of coaching cheerleading, and fourth at Epping High.

Allie Bradley, Boomhower and O’Regan have been cheering together since they began cheering for the Blue Demons, the high school’s feeder program.
