Co-head Cheerleader Stealing the Show very Friday night during Vg halftime at the football games, a horde of enthusiastic young females descended upon the field in a flurry of flags, rifles, and uniforms. At pep rallies, eight girls in white cheered loudly for the school team. These squads weren't the main attraction, but they sometimes stole the show. I hated it when someone made a mistake, but it's just something you have to live with, sighed Stephanie Dubca. The messups were just something that endeared them to their audience. Hardly anyone other than the team and their parents every really kept track of what was going on in junior varsity, but the J.V. cheerleaders did. No one pays attention to how the junior varsity is doing, but we do, expressed An-nie Bennerscheidt. They know that someone cares, because we're always there. My favorite part of the pep rallies is the performance of the J.V. cheerleaders. declared freshman, David Fluegal. Of course, it wasn't all embarrassment, obscurity, or mistakes. The flag and rifle squad could beam with pride when they received a 1 at competition in Sulphur and a 2 rating at the tough MBA in Houston. Not to be outdone. the J.V. cheerleaders gave it their all in the Cal-Cam fair competition and came home with the first place award. The competitions were the best part of being in flags, com-mented Lynn Hay mark. And then, there was the feeling of self-satisfaction. It was hard. But when Friday night came, it was worth all the work. stated Marcic Mafouz. — CHOZEN “Being part of the halftime show was really nerve-racking. From my viewpoint in line, I could always see whether we made mistakes or not. — AMANDA ARMSTRONG J.V. Cheerleaders — 63
