They learned cheers, chants, mounts and jumps, received a spirit stick, and won two blue ribbons on the last day of camp. The A squad cheered at football games, while the B squad cheered for volleyball. During the basket- ball season the A and B squads were split in rotating squads and cheered at both girls' and boys' games. Both squads followed the basketball teams to the district finals. This made for a hectic and exciting season.
