O Shout it out. While the Wildcats are being introduced, the Bleacher Creatures cheer for them, but when the opposing team is announced, the Creatures pay no attention. Team effort. Before every game the Wildcats unite as one and go on the court with great deter- mination to win. -an SEASO RAISES SPIRIT Zebra, Zebra was a cheer heard most often at the boys' basketball games. It wasn't a cheer from the cheerleaders, but rather a cheer from a group of students that call- ed themselves the bleacher creatures. The home crowd ex- ploded with the noise led by the creatures. The creatures made it a habit to attend all of the boys' games, from the burst of the first game to the cheers at the final buzzer of the season. They really helped out at the games. Even if the team was losing the creatures never stopped cheering for them. The creatures were an awesome group of fans. It really pumped me up and got me going when the guys yelled for me. They finally got the people to keep from sitting on their hands and yell a little, Senior Keith Mcfvtahan Boys' Varsity Basketball said. In order to clinch a playoff spot the team needed to beat Beeville. They played with great determination, effort, will-power, and guts. They kept going when giving up would have been so much easier. Each one of the players hung in there and made the best of it. All this determination and fight won them an invitation to the playoffs. ESL? Keeping cool. Keeping away frm the inside pressure seni Michael Chiders stays cool a releases the ball for an outsi shot.
