Mount Pleasant High School Tiger Dolls compete in Mansfield.

The Mount Pleasant High School Tiger Dolls attended the Showtime International DFW Championship at Mansfield Legacy High School on Saturday, January 30. The Dolls would bring home 27 awards, including Best Overall Team, Best Overall Officer squad, and Best Overall solo at the entire competition.

The Tiger Doll team earned 13 awards in total: Sweepstakes, Judges Awards in Pom, Military and Hip Hop, Best in Large Team category in Pom, Military and Hip Hop, Applause Award for precision in Military, Supreme awards for Pom, Military, and Hip Hop (1st place in their category), Grand Champion Team (1st place overall in their division), and Best of the Best Team (top-scoring team in the whole competition).

The Officer squad of Captain Lily Burrows, 1st Lieutenant Madyson Arzate, Sr. Lieutenant Ashleigh Amerson, Jr. Lieutenant Nevaeh Bardwell, Jr. Lieutenant Grelyn Goolsby, and Jr. Lieutenant Mary Kait Heeren also brought home 13 awards: Sweepstakes, Judges Awards in Lyrical, Jazz, and Hip Hop, Best in Large Team category in Lyrical, Jazz and Hip Hop, Applause Award for creativity and originality in Jazz, Supreme awards for Lyrical, Jazz, and Hip Hop (1st place in their category), Grand Champion Officers (1st place overall in their division), and Best of the Best Officers (top-scoring officer squad in the whole competition).

First Lieutenant, Madyson Arzate, was named solo champion in the High School division and went on to be named Solo Grand Champion for having the highest-scoring solo in the entire competition, earning her a $100 college scholarship.

“I cannot even begin to explain how proud I am of this team,” said Tiger Doll Director Jaton Broach. “It has been a crazy year–online auditions canceled performances and events, and finding new ways to do what we love. However, these ladies have kept their chins held high and continue to move forward each and every day. They come to practice with positive attitudes and ready to work and make each routine better than it was the day before. One of the judges from this weekend was a friend of former Tiger Doll director Cindy VanMeter and would come in and work with the Tiger Dolls years ago. She commented that she watched the Tiger Dolls with a joyful heart and sees how well the Tiger Doll legacy continues; what an honor for the team to hear this praise and to know that what they do matters and that they are a part of something so special. This was a great start to our competition season, and I can’t wait to see what all the Dolls accomplish this year!”
