Godley High School cheerleaders earned a fourth-place finish among 23 talented teams at the NCA High School Nationals on Jan. 23, 2026, in Fort Worth.

The GHS squad secured a national bid after placing sixth at the NCA North Texas Regional competition in November at Rockwall-Heath High School, opening the season with a strong performance against top programs from across the region.

Godley also posted a strong showing earlier in January at the UIL State Spirit Championships, competing with enthusiastic support from students, staff, families and community members.

The Game Day Varsity Medium division challenges teams to combine a band chant, cheer, fight song and situational response into a three-minute routine, showcasing how spirit programs elevate the game-day atmosphere and energize the crowd.

Leading the squad are All-American Captain Marleigh Thompson and All-American co-captains Peyton Bower and Sady Williams.

Team members include Hannah Baxter, Kennedy Black, Harlee Brown, Mackenzie Crawford, Britton Everroad, All-American Brooke Gallagher, Cali Harrington, Tessa Heath, Tynlee Moore, Laney Mullins, Leighton Murphy, Hinley Owen, Saylor Pahanish, Katie Ponce, Raelyn Revland, Dezy Reyes, Laina Reynolds, Maddilynne Schlick, Ava Siddall, Abbie Smith, All-American Paola Valenzuela, and Paetyn Young. Sonnet Grier serves as the All-American mascot, Wacky the Wildcat.

The GHS cheer program is sponsored by Amanda Musselman and Dana Burke.
