Victoria Enmon

Yesterday morning Victoria Enmon passed away from complications from a four year battle with leukemia.  She was a sophomore.   Victoria was a former athlete whom four years ago while in the 6th grade found out she had leukemia.  She was on our team for several years and competed at Nationals in Sacramento.  She loved tumbling and cheerleading and wanted so bad to continue both. Victoria was a sweet, funny, spiritual child whom could make you smile in an instant.  She fought hard, never gave up hope or faith.  She loved everyone she came in contact with.  An angel got her wings today...she will definetly be missed by us all.
