Ah, January. A simpler time, when toilet paper was in abundance and our biggest concern was whether Jerry would make mat.

Remember those days?

Three months ago, we confined ourselves to our homes before it was in vogue and enforced due to a global pandemic, so we could watch the Navarro cheer squad and their coach Monica Aldama prepare for Daytona in Netflix’sCheer.

Watch the trailer for Netflix’s Cheer and you’ll instantly understand the hype. Post continues below video.

It led to us following 20 cheerleaders on Instagram and naming our plants Jerry (true story), because we loved them.

But now, three months later we’re… here. In this current situation, wishing we could go back to a time where we worried about strangers on our screen landing pyramids instead of COVID-19.

The Cheer cast are probably wishing this too: The pandemic has led to the cancellation of all cheer competitions including the big one, Daytona, which was scheduled to happen April 8-12.

We need a littleCheerback in our lives, so did a little investigating to see how Morgan, Lexi, Jerry, LaDarius, Gabi and the rest of the Navarro team are going.

Gabi Butler.

As we heard in the finale episode ofCheer, Gabi left Navarro to move home to Florida. She now cheers for Top Gun in Miami, has relaunched her YouTube channel with behind-the-scenes footage from Navarro’s trip to Daytona and, get this: She’s also gained more than 700,000 followers since the series dropped and now has 1.7 million followers.

Gabi’s reportedly dating Florida football player Jordan Brooks-Wess.

In reference to COVID-19, Gabi wrote on Instagram that she’s realised recently to “not to ever take a single second for granted… because you truly never know what can happen or when it will be the last time that you see someone… let’s try to keep in touch and reach out to those who we may not talk to as often. I love you guys with all my heart and I hope everyone is staying safe.”

Jerry Harris.

We must protect Jerry at all costs.

The fan-favourite received a scholarship to the University of Louisville in theCheerfinale, which would have spelled the end of his Navarro days. Since filming, Jerry actually did attend the college for a semester.

But the he headed back in Corsicana, Texas.

“I actually went last semester [to Louisville] but was missing Navarro so much so I reached out to Monica and asked if there were any openings for me and she said yes, so I decided to seize the opportunity to make myself happy and do what I wanted to do. So, I decided to come back,” Jerry told Esquire.

“As of right now, it’s just another semester, I don’t know where I’m going to go after this, school-wise, but I’m just happy I get to spend a couple more months with my family.”

His ‘cheer family’ also reopened a GoFundMe page originally started in 2016, to help Jerry financially after his mother’s death. It raised US$60,000.

Jerry has shared a couple of typically-positive messages in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, and if Jerry tells us to stay positive, we stay positive.

Morgan Simianer.

Morgan recently completed her Associate degree in Sociology and is now taking a dual enrolment program through Navarro College and Texas A&M Commerce. Yep, that meant she was back at Navarro for another year.

She said at first she was nervous to share her backstory on the show, which involved being left to live often alone in a trailer park by her father before being taken in by her grandparents.

“I was scared I was going to be judged, and that people were going to be like, oh, sob story, blah blah blah, so I was very scared to open myself up to everyone. And obviously we didn’t know it was gonna be this big, so it was even more scary,” she said.

“But once it came out, I realised how many lives my story impacted and how there are so many people that can relate to the same things I went through, and how I’ve been helping and motivating
