This year’s season seemed to resemble a foot- ball game itself. Having two halves, the first half of the season started off slow-, and as the season progressed, during sec- ond half they improved their play. The Braves started off the season against a surprising Cedar Cliff team only to be turned away with a devastating loss. The Braves came HOME for two strong games against arch rivalries Danville and Selinsgrove. Then the Braves met a tough Williamsport team and came out on the losing end. They traveled to Milton and came back with a 7-0 win. Getting into a winning groove, the Braves got on track to win two big games against North Schuykill and Hazelton. On their return home the Braves got fired up for the Homecoming game for a close 14-16 loss to Berwick the nations fourth ranked team. After the deflating loss to Berwick, the Braves came back to beat Pottsville and later scored a high score of 62-14 against Shamokin. With the playoff birth still undecided, the Braves traveled to Mt. Carmel, having eight turnovers and two punts in ten pos- sessions. The Braves suffered a season- ending 3-0 loss. Football — 25

Summer practices paid off in competition The Monday after school closed, 14 devoted girls began a summer of learn- ing and practices that would result in a highly respected football cheerleading squad. The first honor acquired by the squad was the Award of Excellence. The squad was chosen for this award from 16 other squads for best perfor- mance of learned cheers and spirit at the Pocono Sports Camp. The second award presented to the squad took place August 29, at the Sus- quehanna Valley Mall Competition, where once again the Shikellamy girls captured first place. According to Pa- trice McNichol, squad captain, Win- ning the Mall Competition tops off those hot exhausting summer prac- tices.” Upon returning to school, the girls practiced every Thursday after school. These practices provided for the comi- cal skits and funky dance routines viewed at the Friday pep assemblies. The squad proved to be excellent through their competitions but were best appreciated at HOME cheering the Shikellamy Braves on to victory. (Top) Freshmen Cheerleaders — Front: S. Yordy. Middle: C.
