Keely and her husband Shawn are Bloom Carroll alumni who reside in the district with their only daughter. Keely has a bachelor’s degree in organizational communication from Ohio University and a master’s degree in Business Administration from Franklin University. She has been working for Cardinal Health for the past 18 years handling product quality and managing multiple distribution centers. While in college, she discovered that Ohio University-Lancaster did not have a Softball program, which was a passion of hers. As program founder, she coached many young women for a 10-year period capping off her coaching career with a couple of state titles, only leaving so that she could pursue a higher education. She is a co-leader for a Bloom Carroll girl scout troop of 20 girls that are all in 3rd and 4th grade. While she is new to the BCBA board, she helped during the cheer season and assisted with the Cheer competition that took place in 2022. She is very excited about assisting the board with this upcoming cheer season and focusing on its continued success.

Stacie is a Project Manager for VS&Co and has a degree in Business Management.  She has lived in Carroll for 10 years with her husband (Marcus Brown) and two children. Both kids are in the Bloom Carroll school district and Marcus also coaches on the rec basketball and softball teams. Last year was Stacie's first-year coaching and she absolutely fell in love with it. She started cheering at the age of 6 and quickly found that it was a sport that she had a passion to do. Stacie enjoys teaching the squad the fundamentals and watching them grow and develop their skills while also having fun and making new friends. Stacie also helped start the BCBA competition cheer team, which helps expand on new skill-sets and allows members to display those achievements at a showcase. In her free time you will find her outside with her family at Hide-Away-Hills either in the water or floating on a boat.
