Neighbours to cheer at ETBU
Pittsburg Class of 2021 graduate Grace Neighbours is hanging up her Pirate pom-poms and putting on some serious Tiger Pride. Having cheered through junior high and high school, she has now won her place on the East Texas Baptist University cheer squad. Present with her for this moment are Neighbours’s mother Amanda Penny and cheer coaches Cheyenne Reynolds and Heather Lockler. Neighbours also wanted her brother, Tristan, who passed away a year ago, to be a part of the moment, so she included a photo of the two of them on the table. COURTESY PHOTO
