Bennett, the daughter of Al and Sandy Bennett, is the captain of the Escambia Academy varsity cheer team and has cheered throughout high school. She was chosen to attend the All Star game while at camp this summer. She will also cheer at the All Star basketball game later this winter.
Megan will leave two days before the game for Selma. While in Selma she will work with other All Star cheerleaders to learn the routines.

Beasley will leave for Selma on Dec. 4. While there he will take part in two a day practices in preparation for the game.
