Love Like Cam: Sumrall High School Cheerleader’s Compassion Is Remembered, Paid Forward

SUMRALL, Miss.—Sumrall High School senior Camden Dedeaux and the three other cheerleaders beside her locked their arms to form a base before flipping and lifting their designated flyer, who raised her arms into a Y position. As the backspot for this stunt, Dedeaux steadied the flyer’s ankles from behind, and the base held her several feet from the ground. Two groups of cheerleaders also adorned in pearl-white uniforms featuring sapphire sleeves and the school’s golden bobcat mascot pivoted and carried their own flyers toward the center. 

Once they were within arm’s reach, the central flyer dropped. Her teammates grabbed her by the torso and again flipped her forward. Dedeaux spotted her flyer as the flyers from either side used the momentum from this flip to propel the central cheerleader upward into the liberty: a precarious, one-legged raise to cap off SHS’ performance at the 2022 Universal Cheer Association’s High School Nationals Competition inside the VISA Athletic Center in Orlando, Fla.
