The spotlight shone on the Tomball Memorial High School Varsity cheer team, who captured 1st place, earning the National Championship in the highly competitive Division I Varsity Coed Non-Tumbling Gameday division. 

TMHS cheer coach Sarah Ellison reflected on the team’s resilience:

"When it mattered most, they stepped on that mat and put on the greatest show. This team chose resilience over disappointment, unity over doubt, and growth over fear—and I couldn’t be prouder of the heart and fight they showed every step of the way."

In the same elite division, the Tomball High School Varsity cheer team earned an impressive 3rd place finish, standing on the national podium among the top teams in the country. 

THS cheer coach Steven Weibel shared:

"Finishing third at Nationals represents relentless work, belief in each other, and the courage to rise under pressure on the biggest stage. I could not be prouder of who this team was all season long."
