Local motion he McNeese Cheerleaders and Cow- boy Kickers are two hard-working groups who stimulate excitement of all McNeese fans during football games. But certainly their line of duty extends far from just performing at football games. Both groups put in numerous sweat- pouring hours to reach the perfection they desire. Each member of the fourteen-member cheerleader squad devotes hours of per- sonal time toward learning and perfecting the cheering and dance routines, which are choreographed by head cheerleader Lauren LafLeur and co-head, Malana Smith. Sponsored by Susan Fox, with Gina Delpapa serving as cheerleader assistant, these students are athletes who risk injury and exhaustion. They perform at most football and basketball games as well as many community-related events. Their hard work paid off at the competition held at SMC in Dallas, Texas, last summer when they were finalists in the Award of Ex- cellence and Fight Song Competitions, beating out schools from Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas. Another group which clocks in many hours of hard work is the line of Cowgirl Kickers, sponsored by Glenda Menard and managed by Trey Broadhurst. This group of girls combines the skill and stamina of professional dancing with the glitter and glamour of a Broadway show into each performance. Their routines require flex- ibility, strength, and precision timing. Combining props and pom poms with flashy costumes and spectacular moves, these girls never fail to give an outstanding performance. MCNEESE CHEERLEADERS: Kelly Frankenberg, Lauren LaFleur, Malana Smith, Evelyn Blanchard, Lisa Morris, Su- san Foreman, Day-Day LeBlanc, Rocky Fruge, Louis Whatley, Scott Riviere, Butch Ferdinandsen, Trey Savario, Jimmy Pot- torff, Ricky Self, Susan Helms, Mike Fuse- lier and Scott Doyle.
