Hello Texas Twirl Fans!
Another great weekend of twirling all over Texas, and we could not love it more! That also means it is time for another Friday Night Lights Feature Interview with one of our fabulous Texas High School twirlers.
This Weekend’s FNL Feature is the Elysian Fields High School Feature Twirler!
Elysian Fields High School, located in Elysian Fields, TX, is the home of the Yellowjackets, and this week’s featured twirler, Teresa Hall! Teresa is the Senior Line Captain at EFHS, and also a competition twirler. You may have seen her at USTA contests around Texas & Louisian, as well as USTA Nationals.
Teresa loves being a part of Yellowjacket Nation. “My favorite thing about EFHS is how nice and friendly everyone is!” She also loves all the school traditions, but her favorite, of course, happens on Game Days! “Going in the halls on Friday and singing the school song and then shouting “GO JACKETS” is so much fun, and a tradition I always enjoy.”
Now that we have learned a little about life at EFHS, let’s learn more about Teresa!

Competition Level: Senior AA
Teresa has been twirling for 14 years and works with coach Lori Perkins. The competition title she is the proudest of earning was the Winter Diva. Her favorite field trick is a toss cartwheel.

After High School Teresa hopes to attend ULM for Speech Pathology and be the Feature Twirler.
