The squad achieved a Superstar squad rating, 1 Excellent, and 3 superstar ratings. We feel that we learned to work together better, got to know each other better, learned to take constructive criticism, learned to think and accom- plish things faster, improved ability and quality of cheering skills, became closer friends with each other, and had a lot of fun together. Tabatha Praytor Head. Ninth Nyka Scott Eighth m v Angela Vickers Ninth Sponsor Mrs. Parker Renee Lee Ninth Missy Nash Eighth Football Cheerleaders We, as a football squad, have earned 3 superior and 1 excellent rating this year at camp. We put many hours of practice and hard work into our pep rallies, but it was worth it by cheering our team to a City and District Cham- pionship. We would like to give a special ‘‘Thank You” to the band and all the fans for their support.
