The Georgia State Spirit Squad helps bring life into the atmosphere of Panther games year ‘round. The team’s genuine passion for the university and athletic program can be credited directly to their head coach Darryl Lyons, who can spotted on the sidelines of any Panther basketball or football game, yelling in support of Georgia State. Team member work as much as any other student-athlete on campus, waking up early and staying up late for work outs and practice in the GSU Sports Arena.
A couple weekends ago, all of that hard work paid off. On Feb. 14, the Coed Spirit Squad won the National category at the 2016 Cheersport competition.
