M Fans watching the Ironmen Cheerleaders might have noticed some differences this year. This was the first year that an eight member squad had been selected. In previous years only six members were selected. Fans might also have noticed that the cheerleaders did not do any pyramids at games This stemmed from a recommendation from the Ohio High School Athletic Association which was adopted by the SEOAL for safety reasons. A new head cheerleader advisor led the squad with two new assistants to the cheerleading program. Mrs. Sherry Headley was assisted by Mrs. Pam Evans and Mrs. Nina Rose, all of the JHS faculty. One thing didn't change though; the enthusiasm and support they used to cheer on the Ironmen through the seasons of athletic competition. 22 Varsity Cheerleaders
