Bright stadium lights, a roaring student section, and athletes giving it their all on the field—Audrey Moss thrives on capturing the magic of Lassiter High School sports in highlight video reels. This passion earned the Lassiter High sophomore a win in the 2024 “Student Section Spirit Challenge” for the 5A-6A classification, an annual contest sponsored by the Georgia High School Association (GHSA) Student Athlete Advisory Council.
Audrey’s winning 2.5-minute video, showcasing the energy and spirit of Trojan Nation, played on the big screen at Mercedes-Benz Stadium during halftime of the GHSA State Football Championship game in December. “It was more than exciting and just so insane,” Audrey said of the moment.
Audrey’s journey into sports videography began during her time as a Jr. Trojan Cheerleader. After being diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), a heart condition that made cheering too physically chal lenging, Audrey sought another way to support her team. Video editing became her outlet, allowing her to stay con nected to the action while showcasing the skill and passion of her peers.
Her action-packed highlight reels, carefully edited with high-energy music and words, quickly gained attention.
Lassiter Trojan Cheerleading Head Coach Jenna Fischer noticed Audrey’s videos of Jr. Trojan Cheer and invited her to create reels for the varsity cheer squad, giving her total creative freedom. Since then, Audrey has expanded her portfolio to include varsity football, varsity basketball (men’s and women’s), varsity softball, powder puff, and lacrosse.
Despite hand tremors caused by POTS, Audrey relies on the stabilizer tool in her video editing app, LumaFusion, to create seamless transitions from backflips to touch downs, often highlight ing the vibrant Trojan Nation student section.
Audrey’s talents have not gone unnoticed by her teachers and mentors. Assistant Principal and Athletic Director Scott Kelly and Marketing teacher and DECA advi sor Kathryn Griffin-Sequin encouraged her to enter the GHSA contest. Her videos, some of which have gotten over 10,000 views on Instagram, resonate with students and showcase her artistic storytelling.
“I love the environment,” says Audrey. “The students are amazing. I love seeing people’s reactions to the videos and seeing them repost them. I love capturing those special moments for people.”
A Marietta native, Audrey comes from a proud Trojan family. Her older brother, Julian, a senior, films varsity football games for live broadcasts and produces videos for morning announcements. Her older sister, Ferris Marie, made history as Lassiter’s first female football player, graduating in 2022. Their parents, Erin and Bryan Moss, are active supporters of Trojan Nation, continuing a family tradition that dates back to the 1990s.
Beyond sports videography, Audrey enjoys pottery and life on her family’s hobby farm, home to chickens, cats, dogs, and fish. She plans to pursue sports videography and journalism in college, with her sights set on continuing to capture the magic of Trojan Nation and beyond.
