Highlands Cheerleader Signs with The Ohio State University

Highlands High School cheerleader, Will Bertsch, will sign a letter of intent to cheer at The Ohio State University.  The signing will be held at 3pm on Wednesday, March 20, 2019, in the Media Center at Highlands High School.

Will was a member of the 2017-18 team that won 1st place in NKCCA Small Coed Cheer, 1st place in NKCCA Senior Stunt Coed, 1st place KHSAA Region 9 Coed and Cheer, 4th place in KHSAA State Coed and 11th place in UCA Nationals Small Coed.  He was also part of the 2018-19 team that won 2nd place in NKCCA Small Coed, 1st place in UCA Hoosier Small Coed, 2nd place in KHSAA Regional Small Coed, 1st place in NKCCA Senior Stunt Coed, and 13th place in UCA Nationals Small Coed.  In this, his senior year, Will received the NKCCA Scholarship Award.

“Will is an exceptional athlete with an unsurpassable talent and plethora of knowledge for the sport of cheerleading.  He is a four-year varsity cheerleader and the first four-year male cheerleader to graduate from our program.  

His ability to focus on the big picture and put obstacles behind him speaks volumes for his character.  Will is the first to encourage the team and younger athletes to achieve their goals.  We have no doubt that he will take these same qualities and knowledge to The Ohio State University program,” said Miki Beier, Highlands High School head cheer coach.
