Many of the juniors on the team were freshmen when the school performed its best season ever in 2010-2011 under Melvin Burke, ending with a 19-5 record and advancing to the district semifinals for the first time in school history.

The squad was competing for the first time in 12 years
Submitted by BeachwoodBison.org Beachwood’s competitive cheerleading squad added an exclamation point to the school’s most successful winter sports season in school history. The squad, competing this season for the first time in 12 years, placed fourth at Sunday’s Cheer Champion Central Hard Rockin’ Cheer and Dance Championships in Cleveland. “The girls were a little disappointed,” said cheer coach Colleen Schachtel. “I told the girls, ‘You’re at nationals.
