Leading the Way! Each season brings about a different group of girls at- tempting to make the cheerleading squads. This years varsity basketball cheerleaders were chosen from a group of spirited girls who wished to instill energy and en- thusiasm in the fans. Led by advisor Barbara Spencer and co-captains Collette Armenti and Kristen Stift, the squad accompanies the varsity basketball team to home and away games. At the start of the season co-captain Kristen Stift represented the girls at a county-wide conference for athletic leaders on December thirteenth. Kris and Collette. along with the remaining squad members, create cheers and acrobatic routines to entertain and uplift the crowd.
