2022 Fall Twirler Announcements - Stephen F. Austin State University

Hello Texas Twirl Fans!

It is that exciting time of year where twirlers are auditioning for twirling spots for the Fall. This blog hopes to help spread the excitement by announcing the selections for the lovely twirlers we will see on the field very soon in Texas or representing out of State. If you have an announcement for new twirler selections for 2022-2023, please email texastwirlcontact@gmail.com so that we can help spread the word! 

Today's post announces the selection of the 2022-23 Stephen F Austin Feature Twirler & Twirl-O-Jacks!

SFA, located in Nacogdoches, TX, has a "timeless" reputation regarding baton twirlers thanks to their Twirl-O-Jack twirling line. The TOJ's are know for their "Grace...Poise...Style!" They perform at football games and many events representing their University.

The Lumberjacks are also proud to annually present their Feature Twirler who performs separate but  complimentary of the TOJs! Auditions for both the Feature Twirler position and the Twirl-O-Jacks were held last weekend on the SFA Campus. 

For 2022-23 the SFA Community is excited to welcome the new Lumberjack Feature Twirler, Kellen Coke! Kellen will be graduating from Bullard High School, where she was their Feature Twirler, this May. She is the 2021 Senior Intermediate Southwest Regional Pageant Winner, and is coached by Patti Mickey & Kayli Mickey McIntosh with the Mickey's Majorettes, and Jeri Coke with Twirl Revolutions. Kellen is so excited to live out her dream as the SFA Feature Twirler this Fall!

The 2022-23 Twirl-O-Jack twirling line will be lead by Head Twirl-O-Jack, Samantha Denby, and Assistant Head Twirl-O-Jack, Sheridan Tayler. These ladies will be joined by returning TOJs Michalla Byrd, Jessica Bitner, Erica Bitner, Skyla Speer, Kayden Davis, Kylie Mashburn, Tayler Davis, and Verania Martinez, and new TOJS Clair Hunter, Caitlyn Martin, Julianna McKinney, Charity Volkman, and Makayla Oliver. 

Congrats to Feature Twirler Kellen, Head Twirl-O-Jack Samantha, Asst. Head Twirl-O-Jack Sheridan, and all the 2022-23 Twirl-O-Jacks. We know you all will continue the T-O-J tradition of exciting and original performances this coming Fall. Go Jacks!
