For the first time in school history, Klein Cain Cheer is proud to celebrate two Texas Girls Coaches Association (TGCA) All-State Cheer selections. Bailey Barlow (12) and Ella Pipkin (10) have each received this prestigious statewide honor, with only 50 cheerleaders selected from all 6A schools across Texas. This recognition stands as one of the highest individual achievements a Texas high school cheerleader can receive and reflects excellence in performance, leadership, character, and impact.
Their selection by the TGCA Committee marks a defining moment for the Cain Cheer program and highlights the continued growth of our UIL team since its inception in 2024. Both cheerleaders have been foundational members of our UIL competitive team and have helped set the tone for what Hurricane excellence looks like.
Bailey Barlow is a Senior 4-year member, Varsity Captain, UCA All-American, and dual-sport athlete in cheer and softball. She has been a cornerstone of our varsity program and was the first cheerleader in school history to be nominated for TGCA All-State. Bailey is a member of NHS with over 31 volunteer hours and has earned multiple program honors, including Best Overall Freshman Cheerleader and Best Overall JV Cheerleader. She is also an Academic All-District honoree and consistently earns All A and A/B Honor Roll recognition. Known for her strength, work ethic, and coachability, Bailey leads with consistency, humility, and high standards that elevate everyone around her.
Ella Pipkin is a Sophomore and was the first cheerleader in school history to be nominated for TGCA All-State. She has served as both Freshman Captain and JV Co-Captain and is a two-time UCA All-American. Ella currently ranks 3rd in her class out of 970 students with an impressive 5.785 GPA. Beyond cheer, she serves as Sophomore Class Vice President and holds leadership roles within the National Charity League, where she has completed approximately 50 hours of community service. Within our program, she has been recognized as Most Dedicated Freshman Cheerleader and is known for her reliability, maturity, and ability to lead by example.
Together, Bailey and Ella represent the very best of Klein Cain Cheer! Their historic achievement reflects years of discipline, service, academic excellence, and dedication to their teammates and community.
