Help Lilly’ Ann and Lobo get to the Citrus Bowl

Help Lilly’ Ann and Lobo get to the Citrus Bowl

Hi, my name is Lilly’Ann Rodriguez and I am the Cisco High School Lobo Mascot in Cisco, Texas. I’m a Junior at Cisco High School and have been the Mascot for my school since my freshman year in 2021. I am also a 3 time NCA All-American Mascot. I was awarded the Top Mascot at the NCA Cheer Camp in 2022 held at ASU in San Angelo, Tx and this Years 2023 NCA Cheer Camp held at UTSA in San Antonio, Tx. I’ve also received awards for best props each year. For my accolades as the Best Mascot/All-American I have been invited to participate at the halftime performance of the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl in Orlando Florida on January 1, 2024. I am so honored to be invited along with other Squad & Team Trophy winners and Mascot Al-Americans. I would like to represent Cisco High, our City of Cisco and Eastland County at this once of a lifetime opportunity. As a child I watched my older sister, Cheyenne cheer for the Cisco High School Loboes as the Lobo Mascot from 2013-2017. And I knew I wanted to follow in her footsteps. I saw it as my legacy. I love entertaining the fans and enjoy the smiles I see on the children’s faces as I high five them, dance and take pictures with them. A Friday night for me isn’t complete without my hard work on the sidelines cheering on our football team. In the heat of Texas or the blizzards of winter. It doesn’t end there. I along with our cheerleaders support our basketball, baseball and softball teams throughout the school year. It’s not an easy task in a very heavy and hot costume but I LOVE IT. And I would love to entertain the crowds on a bigger stage at this years Cheez-It Citrus half time show. I would like to be the first Cisco High Mascot to represent us! 09/28/2023 12:00 AM
