Celebrating Victory in Style

The Columbus Cardinals celebrated their 2024 UIL Class 3A Division 1 State Championship with a parade through the streets of Columbus on Sunday, Dec. 29.

The spectacle started at Schobel’s Restaurant and ended at the Courthouse Square. At the end of the parade the Cardinals were presented with the key to the city by Columbus Mayor Lori An Gobert.

Fire trucks and police cars led the way as the Cards, their coaching staff, the cheerleaders, marching band and other support staff members made their way through the parade route. The fans in attendance did not need any more reasons to cheer but upon hearing the roar of the cheerleaders and the marching band they could not help but be overcome with school spirit.
