Cheerleaders Fill Year With Enthusrastic Spirit Hey all you Bedford fans, stand up and clap your hands! That was part of one of the many chants stu- dents heard if they filled the stands for an inspirational football or basketball game or a moving wrestling meet. it was a different year for all, since new uniforms were purchased and eighth graders were once again in- cluded in the cheering squad. Being a cheerleader dur- ing their eighth grade year was an advantage for some girls because they now have an additional year of train- ing and will have a better chance of making the varsity squad in the future. Many people felt the cheerleaders did an exception- al job supplying the football, basketball and wrestling meets with pep and spirit. During the summer the girls practiced each week to learn the routines in time for the upcoming football season. Many chants and cheers were learned and new ones were developed. Since the cheerleaders filled the stands with pep, the spectators could give encouragement to the team and help them on toward a victory.

Cagerettes and Mat Maids Carry on Tradition During the wrestling and basketball season 28 girls spent their time after school keeping stats and scores for the wrestling and basketball teams. Their work wasn't all fun. It took a lot of concentration. The scorebooks had to be right and the stats accurate. For the Mat Maids, seventh, eighth and ninth graders participated. Their job was to keep stats but they did a lot of cheering for the wrestlers too. Freshmen Stacy Pisanti stated, l'he best thing was being with the wrestlers after a victory. Many Cagerettes felt the same way Stacy did. Thirty- three freshmen tried out and twelve were chosen. They tilled out shot charts and kept track of take- aways, turnovers and rebounds. This was different from other years because each person used to keep all these for only one player. Now each Cagerette keeps one stat tex. takeawaysl. They did this for the coach so he could lind out what the team was doing right and wrong. Freshman, Meagan Jenkins commented, l'm really glad that I tried out because it was really fun and I got to travel to all the different schools. Also, I learned a lot about basketball while having fun. Back Row Jana Waldron, Kim Miles. Krista Katona, Amy Parsil. A . a Casenaes: Front Row Meagan Jenkins, Dana Wllllams, Co-Captaln, lodl Stamp.
