Fontbonne students hear cheers at Citrus Bowl
Two Bay Ridge cheerleading stars performed on one of college football’s biggest stages Jan. 2.
Fontbonne students Ava Berardelli and Gianna Felicia cheered with the Varsity Spirit Trophy Winners and All-Americans during a pre-game show at the NCAA Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Fla., where the LSU Tigers beat the Purdue Boilermakers.
Over the summer, the two were named All-American Cheerleaders at a Universal Cheerleaders Association camp. This allowed them to join the Varsity Spirit team and perform at the game in Camping World Stadium.
Varsity Spirit is the Memphis-based leader in cheerleading and dance uniforms, camps and competitions.
