Johnston County Public Schools recognized fall athletics achievements at its fall special recognition event, honoring two cheer squads that won divisional state championships and singling out students selected for all‑state or all‑region honors.
Josh Plisco, declared in the program as JCPS athletic director, praised student‑athletes and parents and introduced the North Johnston Panthers cheer team, winners of the North Carolina High School Coach Association Division 2 large non‑tumbling team award. He read the roster of student members present and thanked their coach for the team’s “determination from the fall all the way through.”
