Fort Dorchester High School Winter Cheerleading

📣 Cheerleader of the Day 💙✨

Today’s spotlight goes to Aliza Neely!

Grade: 10th Grade (Sophomore; Rising Junior)

Cheer Experience:
Aliza completed her first year on the Fort Dorchester JV Winter Cheer Team and quickly proved herself as a dedicated athlete. She learned the fundamentals of cheer with impressive speed and earned opportunities to perform alongside Varsity during games and performances. Throughout the season, she developed into both a strong stunt base and a confident flyer. As a first-year flyer, she even mastered flying in extension stunts—an incredible accomplishment. Aliza has exceptional cheer skills, strong Stomp and Shake technique, and always kept the team smiling with her signature walk that brought laughter and positive energy to every practice.

Favorite Cheer Talent:
⭐ Shakes

Message to the Team:
“Rise above others.” 💙✨

Aliza, we are so proud of the dedication, growth, and positivity you brought to the team this season. Your willingness to learn, your outstanding talent, and the joy you bring to your teammates make you truly special. Keep rising, keep shining, and keep showing everyone what you’re capable of! 💙📣✨

📣 Cheerleader of the Day – Jewel 💙✨

Grade: 10th Grade (Sophomore; Rising Junior)

Cheer Experience:
Jewel began her cheer journey with the OMS Spirit Team during her 8th grade year before cheering on the Fort Dorchester Freshman Fall Cheer Team. She then completed one season as a member of the FDHS JV Winter Cheer Team, where she has continued to show tremendous growth. Her confidence, sharpness, and teamwork have all strengthened beautifully. She consistently works to improve her motions, learn new skills, and bring uplifting energy to the team. She has made noticeable progress in her stunt technique, cheer ex*****on, and jump form, and her effort shines every time she hits the mat. As a versatile stunt athlete, Jewel has served as a main base, side base, and back spot in both prep- and extension-level stunts, demonstrating her strength, adaptability, and commitment to supporting her teammates.

Favorite Cheer Talent:
⭐ Left Hurdle / Jumps

Message to the Team:
“Let’s keep pushing, stay focused, and lift each other up. When we move together, we shine together. 🥳”

Jewel, we’re so proud of the effort, energy, and dedication you bring to the team. Keep growing, keep shining, and keep showing what hard work looks like! 💙📣✨

Building bonds, sharpening skills, and making memories! 💙❤️

Another great collaboration practice with the Summerville Showstoppers. We had an amazing time working together, learning from one another, and spending the day with our cheer sisters and brothers. Iron sharpens iron, and we’re excited for what’s ahead! 📣✨ ShowStoppers

Today’s spotlight goes to Peyton Brown!

Grade: 9th Grade (Freshman; Rising Sophomore for 26-27 year!)

Cheer Experience:
Peyton is a proud OMS Spirit Team alumna who began her cheer journey in the 7th grade. During her two years on the Oakbrook Middle Spirit Team, she grew into a leader and continued that leadership as one of the JV Cheer Captains during her first year on the Fort Dorchester High School JV Winter Cheer Team. This season, Peyton expanded her skills tremendously, learning stunting, dance, shakes, stomps, trots, and many new techniques beyond what she learned in middle school. She worked hard on prep and extension stunts and loves coming to practice every day to learn new cheers, routines, and performances for our games and events. Peyton hopes to continue growing as an athlete, master even bigger skills, and continue cheering beyond high school. Throughout her cheer journey, she has earned several awards and accolades on both the OMS Spirit Team and the FDHS Winter Cheer Team. Her leadership, dedication to the team, love for the sport, and commitment to growth continue to shine every day.
