rhe cheering never stops ihomore Dana Wilson consistently plays her pride in the Patriot basket- 1 teams. Every team appreciated support and for the basketball teams it came notably in the form of two cheerleading squads. Since they cheered for boys ' and girls ' , junior varsity and varsity, the squads split up game nights. Therefore, they could put out just as much energy for all four teams. The squads ' en- thusiasm resulted from practicing after school everyday for two hours except on game days. Leigh- Anne Vaughn, senior and sophomore Melissa Cooper acted as captains for the individual squads. The basketball cheerleaders were supervised by Mrs. Diane Stevens. Junior Kim Mulley com- mented that Mrs. Stevens pushed hard to promote enthusiasm. This was Stevens ' second year supervis- ing. She expressed, I got into the spirit and excitement just as much as the girls did. Although Stevens worked diligently to keep up with the cheerleaders, she couldn ' t possibly supervise all the games. Therefore, a parent volunteer, Mrs. Carolyn Hoover substituted when Stevens was unable to attend. The effort made by all involved in making the basketball cheerleading squads a thriving group did not go unappreciated. Sophomore D. J. Hill, a junior var- sity basketball player stated, It motivated the team to know that the cheerleaders were there back- ing them and cheering them on. As players rally, freshman Wendy Gamrot shows her fighting spirit for the Patriots. 5KETBALL CHEERLEADING — ROW 1: Karen Reid; ROW 2: Melinda Weishaupt, Kim Vanden- g, Trisha Malkiewitz, Melissa Cooper, Carol Demmers; ROW 3: Tracy Taylor, Mandy Leckett, cy Smith; NOT PICTURED: Tina Paliolle f - B.
