"Our focus as a team this year has been to Set the Standard. The team definitely accomplished this by trusting the process. For our seniors this was fantastic closure to the fall season, and for our younger girls this is just the beginning. I personally view this as a trophy for the entire Eureka community. The team appreciates the support from our Tiny Tornadoes mirroring the cheerleaders each game, to our cheer families, friends, Eureka Schools, Eureka Booster Club, EJSHS band, EJSHS students, EJSHS athletes, local businesses and Super Fans helping to make this possible. A win for our team is a win for Eureka. We definitely plan to take state on again next year. 2A is a very competitive class, that will be adding the current 3A champs-Rossville next year due to class size changes. It's going to be a battle which we look forward to." says Coach Anna Noble.
