Worcester, MA - On Saturday, November 22nd, 2025, Prouty Cheer went to States not to win, but to represent our school to showcase just how far David Prouty Cheerleading has come. "Our team was honored with the MSAA Sportsmanship Award, and we couldn’t be more proud!
This team has grown tremendously since the beginning of the season. Every competition, we step on the mat to improve, not to win—because while winning is great, showing up and getting better week after week is what truly matters.
Always believe in yourself, give 100% in everything you do, and recognize the incredible potential you have. We are proud—today and every day," stated Prouty Cheer Coach Melissa Huard immediately following the competition.
What impresses me most is that the General H. Sherman Sportsmanship Award represents high ethics and integrity in interscholastic athletics and places great importance on discipline, respect, and sportsmanship, valuing participation and integrity over simply winning... So, it was bittersweet to see our Prouty Cheer squad out there competing at such a high level, representing our district and David Prouty High School not only at States, but throughout the fall season this year in this way... On behalf of everyone within the Spencer-East Brookfield Regional School District, congratulations to Coach Huard and the Prouty Cheer squad on not only winning many awards throughout the season but also topping the fall 2025 season off in this manner. We are so very proud of each and every one of you. Many congratulations, Prouty Cheer!"
