This basketball season, the cheerleaders have put in hours of practice after school to perfect every second of their jobs at the games. Captains Mila Bair (8), Presley Malsch (8), Temperance Max (8), and Alexa Straile (8) created many cheers for the girls. The coaches, Grace Lane and Leia Mosconi, created a halftime routine for the girls with jumps, a dance, and stunts involved. The girls have also been working on stunts to perform at timeouts.
During halftime at the 7th grade game, the girls do a cheer called “Fire Up” which includes a chant and stunt, and at the 8th grade halftime, the girls do their halftime routine.
The girls are all so excited for the remainder of this season to bring some extra bulldog spirit to the basketball games. The girls are all so enthusiastic to continue out the remainder of this season.
This is the second season of Junior High basketball cheer, and the girls have accomplished so much. They continuously hype up the crowds at every game and help to make the game a more positive experience for the boys.
Coaches Grace Lane and Leia Mosconi are very proud of what the girls have accomplished so far this season. They are sure to tell the girls how great they’re doing, along with giving great advice, in order to improve.
“I’m not really wanting to change anything. I like how it’s going right now, and I’m excited to see the rest of the year,” Grace Lane, coach, said.
The girls have also created extremely tight bonds with each other. The girls have become so close and are so sad to see the season slowly coming to an end. The team has spent countless hours alongside each other, growing extremely close throughout the process. The team has grown a lot as friends and teammates together.
“Cheer has brought me closer to people I was not close with before the season started,” Sophia Hildman (8), stated.
The girls are so proud to consistently watch their teammates improve their skills.
“My favorite part of the season is seeing new people who haven’t cheered for a while accomplish new skills,” Sophia Hildman (8), stated.
Many of the girls plan on trying out next year. The girls have begun to love this sport and are very enthusiastic to continue with it.
“Yes, I will be trying out next year, and I have become so close with everyone on the team.” Abriella McKinney (7), stated
“Everyone getting along is going great. We had a few issues but it has calmed down, and I’m so grateful,” Grace Lane, coach, stated.
