Squad Without A Team “What? ... No football team?!! ’ That was the reaction of one JV cheer- leader when she found out that there weren't enough boys to form a JV team. That meant that the JV cheerleaders couldn't cheer at football games. Sophomore Sherri Par- ker replied, ‘| was hurt because | was looking for- ward to cheering and then there weren't any JV players.” That's a switch from what they were used to. The junior high team had a lot of players, Be. Sophomores Angie McSwain and Lisa Morris cheer the Bull- dogs to victory over a tough R.S. Central team. but only about 13 went out this year. However, the cheer- leaders have been in- volved in other activities.

Even though they did not participate in cheer- ing at the football games, they still practiced with the varsity on Mondays to keep in shape for basket- ball season. 49
