Varsity Coach

Brianna Roughton is a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin – Hook' Em Horns! – with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics. She is originally from the Austin area and attended Lake Travis High School. She cheered for Lake Travis all four years, winning the NCA National Championship in 2008 and cheering the Cavs onto three straight state titles.

This is Coach Roughton's tenth year teaching and coaching at Vandegrift. She helped lead the varsity team to a second-place finish at the UIL State Cheerleading Competition in 2022. She believes a successful coach can create a team atmosphere that consists of players that are willing to work hard, build positive reputations through one another, and reach their ultimate potential while having fun.

Coach Roughton is looking forward to watching the athletes cheer on Viper football on Friday nights and having another successful year at the UIL State Competition. Go Vipers!
