In addition to their roles as student athletes and leaders of student government, Erica Cooney and Bill Palmer (left) organized a summer fund-raiser to help the young people of Geneva. For the second year in a row, the Varsity Basketball Cheerleaders, coached by Sheryl Wild, won the Selection V crown in their class. In the contest, which was held at Rush Henrietta, the team had to perform three cheers which included specific features such as mounts and gymnastics. Prior to the sectionals, the squad had been named Finger Lakes East League champs.
