JV Sophomore Cheer Cheering for victory by Ineke Stoneham With their bright smiles, cheerful dispositions and catchy cheers, the JV Sophomore cheer- leaders led the crowd with an enthusiasm that just would not quit. The Sophomore squad supported both the fresh- man and sophomore athletic teams with an abundance of energy, contributing to the teams ' successes. Kelly Al- cott, captain, felt, Our main goal is to get the crowd in the stands to become enthusias- tic so that the guys out there know that we are behind them every step of the way. The JV cheerleading team stood behind the JV and var- sity teams — supporting them in both victory and de- feat. Tammy Hanigan said, the motive behind their end- less support was, We feel proud to represent Saddle- back. Extra activities included participating in competi- tions. Both squads placed well in competitions, but per- haps the most rewarding vic- tory of all was their first place status at the Knott ' s Berry Farm Drill Pep Competiton. It was held at the beginning of the year and gave the girls incentive to keep up the good work. The members of the Soph- omore and JV squads pulled together in a competitive, spirited situation. They ral- lied their teams and earned a cheer for their efforts. V ' When you ' ve got it. you ' ve got it, say Daniella Gallegos, Patty Acuna and Marta Wiggs. The girls on the squad gained confidence and a sense of pride through their involvement with cheer. Squad members stand in back of the players on the bench as if to say. We ' re behind you every step of the way. The cheerleaders boosted the players ' moral, even when times were rough. Like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, jv and sophomore cheer form a pyramid with varsity cheer. The girls not only supported each other with their shoul- ders, but with their encouraging words as well.

Song- leaders depended on the audience for that extra boost of confidence. 9 Kelly George holds Kermit the Frog up to the crowd to yell a cheer at the game. A songleader ' s job includes the promotion of spirit in the stands. ♦ Practice makes perfect seems to be their motto as Judy Sanchez and Stacey Trezise practice a step. The squad devoted hours after school to creating entertaining rou- tines. Often, the songleaders seem to be only a blur of fast-moving legs. The girls worked very hard on being able to kick to the stars. 120 Songleaders
