TCC Alumni
While we hate to lose them as part of the TCC coaching team, we wish them luck in all they do and hope they take with them some of the dedication, hard work and spirit that has made TCC a great success.
Coach NickNick Riley, better known to Twisters as "Coach Nick," has only been a cheerleader for 3 years. He is from Bastrop, TX and attended Bastrop High School. He played football for 8 years and graduated from Bastrop High in 2008. Nick loves to play guitar and cheer. He met Arthur, the owner of TCC, in 2006 when he was trying to learn how to do a better back flip! Nick never thought he would be a "cheerleader" mainly because he was a football player and a guy! But Arthur changed his life! Nick cheered at TCC from 2006 to 2007 and then became a TCC coach helping to train the next Twister teams. Now, Nick has followed in Arthur's footsteps, attending and cheering for his second year at Navarro College, the best cheer team in the nation. Nick is thrilled to be at Navarro and hopes to cheer at Hawaii Pacific University and major in Travel Industry Management.
Good luck Nick, we know you will be great in all you do. We miss you!

He is originally from Gonzales, TX where he went to school from pre-K throught the first semester of his senior year in high school. He started cheering his junior year of high school in Gonzales and was one of the original cheerleaders at TCC in Bastrop. His senior year, he moved to Bastrop, TX to train for collegiate cheerleading and graduated from Bastrop High. Petey later moved on to another all star team in Dallas, Cheer Athletic Wildcats, and following in his Uncle Arthur's footsteps, started cheering at Navarro College, 5 time national champions, where he is currently attending his second year of studies. Petey hopes to continue his education, continue cheering and move on to bigger and greater things. Petey will be at TCC, when he has time off from school, to help coach the Twisters.
