On December 15, 2019, Encore Cheer recognized their Pinnacle Award Winner, Blaine Hanath from Cheer Factory.
Blaine is 17 and a current junior at Bellville High School. He has plans to cheer in college (Blinn and SFA) and study sports business management. He wants to own his own gym with competitive teams.
He has been a member of Cheer Factory since it was opened 10 years ago and strives to promote inclusivity in all-star cheerleading for everyone. After facing bullying, Blaine made it his mission to recruit more males to the sport and show the world what competitive cheerleading is all about. He is a positive role model and leader on his team, a loved tumbling coach and the head coach of Cheer Factory’s Special Abilities Team – Reign.
“He is not only an amazing advocate for our sport, but a positive role model for younger athletes.” – Griffin Meyers, Encore Houston
Off the mat, Blaine is very active in his community, church and other youth programs helping spread the anti-bullying message. He is always there to lend an ear and a hug to anyone as a reminder that they CAN achieve whatever they put their mind to.
“Blaine is a blessing to our program and to others, it is a true honor to be able to nominate him for this award.” – Shea Davenport, Cheer Factory
