This is A-State Connections on KASU. I’m Johnathan Reaves. You see them on A-State Game Days. The A-State cheerleaders and dance team that make up the Spirit Squad at Arkansas State. They do so much more besides game day appearances, including public appearances, showing up to meet students at local schools, and a lot of practicing for the upcoming national competitions in the Spring. There is a lot to do, and one person leads it all. Director of Spirit Programs and Head Coach at Arkansas State University is Paige Pauley. She tells when she came to A-State.
