PICKENS — Pickens High School senior Riley Rahn signed Friday to take her cheering skills to Anderson University in the fall.

Surrounded by her family, Pickens High School senior Riley Rahn signs last week to cheer at Anderson University.

A cheerleader throughout middle school and high school, Rahn said she loved the small-school environment and Christian atmosphere at Anderson, which awarded her with a $2,000 scholarship.

Although she has been taking dual enrollment classes at Pickens to prepare her for an easy transition to college, Rahn said she will miss cheering on the Blue Flame every Friday night.

She lists bus rides with her teammates to away games and preparing for pep rallies among her favorite memories at Pickens.
