Your Burton Panther Cheerleaders had huge success at their UCA Camp this summer. They came home with many accolades including the top trophy...the Banana! This honor is given to the most energetic, spirited, and respectful cheer team. It signifies a team that goes above and beyond with a positive attitude, hard work, and kindness to other teams and UCA staff. Only one team can bring the banana home and your cheerleaders accomplished that! The team also brought home seven UCA All-Americans, a Pin-it-Forward recipient, jump off champion, and more. They have been working hard to prepare for the upcoming football and competition seasons and are so excited to welcome everyone back at Meet the Panthers!
