I don't think it's right for them to say that they CJ V cheerleadersj can't go when there is room on the bus and it's no extra money going into it, Sophomore Lynae Warnick noted. They really help out in the games because on away games there isn't a very big home crowd. This ruling upset many of the cheerleaders who said the JV cheerleaders had just as much right to go as the varsity cheer- leaders.

They have a lot of talent and good attitudes. This gave me a chance to do a lot of things I didn't get to do last year, said Junior Varsity Captain Traci Platts. Being head cheerleader was work.

These were only some of their duties that they had. Sophomore Stephanie Eyre said Being a cheerleader has helped me be more responsible and kept me in shape. It is a lot of fun. I'm glad to be a cheer- leader. by Kaelynn Smith
