MAV Varsity Cheer Coaches
Beth Ward- Beth is a lifelong resident of Mauldin and a 1985 graduate of Mauldin High School. She is also a product of the Mauldin High School Cheerleading program. She was a member of the first Mauldin team to win the Cheerwine Championship in 1984.
She is a graduate of Clemson University with a BA in Secondary Education History and has her Masters degree in education from Southern Wesleyan. She is married to Brian Ward and they have a daughter, Brantley, 9 years old. Brantley is in the third grade at Greenbriar Elementary. She has been a member of the cheerleading team since her birth; from her days in a stroller to attending cheer practices and participating in Kiddie Camp.
Beth began coaching both JV and Varsity in 1991. After a two year search for a JV coach, Beth got to concentrate on Varsity only. She was joined in 1995 by Betty Mitchell and they have been coaching together ever since. Together (with the girls) they have won three State Championships and State runner- up twice.
Mauldin Competitive cheer holds the proud honor of qualifying for State every year since cheerleading was sanctioned as a state sport in 1996.
Betty Mitchell- Betty has been coaching MHS Varsity cheerleading for 20 years. She began as an assistant coach on the Varsity team in 1985. The following year, 1986, became head coach. The Varsity squad won the Cheerwine Competition two times and then went on to win the NCA Cheer Camp in Columbia and was able to compete at the 1988 NCA National Championship in Dallas, Texas. She gave up coaching in 1990 but decided to come back and start helping Beth Ward in 1995. During this time period they won three State Championships. The first one in 2002, and then again in 2004 and 2005. They finished as State Runner-Up in 2001 and 2006.
Betty has been married to John Mitchell for 42 years. They have two sons, Johnny and Kyle, both graduated from Mauldin High School. Johnny graduated in 1986 and Kyle graduated in 1991. Johnny and his wife, Sandy, have 4 children, JC (a football player and wrestler at Wren High School); Kadie, a cheerleader at Eastside High School); Emily ( a seventh grader at Northwood Middle) and Zane ( a sixth grader at Northwood Middle). They reside in Greenville.
Kyle and his wife, Sheila, live in Duncan with their two children, Isabella ( 7 years old) and is a veteran of our Kiddie Camp since the age of 3. Their youngest child, Mitch, is 5 years old. They both attend Spartanburg Christian Day School.
