The Greenwave Tiny Mites cheerleading team had the opportunity to compete last week in the Jamz Nationals in Las Vegas. 

Tori Edgington Ausano, a coach and mom, said it was an amazing weekend. "They owned that whole stage. What an amazing ending to watch them throw it down like that on one of the biggest cheer stages in the nation. Although we competed out of our age division, we definitely did not out-shine." 

She said it has been a great cheer year, and a dream to be a part of this team. "Getting to work hand in hand with these kids, their families, and our coaches has been an extreme honor, and highlight in my life."

Hailey Perez also coached the team and said the girls' heart and dedication are things that can't be taught. "They poured their heart and souls into every single practice for the past seven months, and on the biggest stage in the nation, it showed. I have no words for the abundant amount of happiness, pride, and love for these girls and what they did this weekend." 

Although the team did not come home with a trophy, Perez said they came home happy and learned so much.

Perez and Ausano were joined by Nicole Howell, Cassandra Fox, and Tami Rowland as coaches. 

She thanked the parents of her team for sharing their girls with them. "As a coach you go into it 'teaching them' but man, they taught me. We had the best, most supportive parents around."

Thank you Kelli Kelly.Comment publication date: 3/21/26, 8:12 AMComment source: In memorium -- The Melon ManComment author: Bob SondgrothComment text: There are times when you should just know about someone. Who and what they REALLY were. Because they were devotional and IMPORTANT to the humans they connected with. The content of their life bled so that others could feel their own life’s importance. Teachers of justifiable life and art. That all can absorb and use as the best fertilizer for THEIR lives. Giving the silent secrets and the loud guidance. The Melon Man was a perfect specimen for how to devote. His passing meant a life book of feeling/knowing what gives other humans their paths to Love and Knowledge. Some humans are meant to show others their paths. And in that they secrete ways to profitably exist.Comment publication date: 3/18/26, 4:50 PMComment source: In memorium -- The Melon Man
