⭐ COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT: Kirbyville Youth Cheer Sweeps Lone Star Competition

Kirbyville made history this past Sunday at the Lone Star Cheer Competition, and they didn’t just show up — they showed out.

The Kirbyville Youth Football Association (KYFA) Cheer program entered a team in every division:

• Flag Division (ages 5–6)

• Junior Division (ages 7–8)

• Senior Division (ages 9–12)

Each team faced tough competitors from across the region, including Silsbee, Kountze, Buna, Woodville, Huntington, and Evadale. But from the moment Kirbyville stepped into the gym, the energy shifted — the Wildcats brought intensity, confidence, and Wildcat pride.

And the results?

Unbelievable. Record-setting. Completely earned.

For the first time in league history, all three Kirbyville teams came home with trophies. Not only that — all three squads were also awarded Most Spirited.
