The Eagle Times

It’s game day. Make-up is applied and hair is brushed neatly in place. After long practices, the girls are ready. They grab their poms and line up on the field. It’s game time!

Every week it is the duty of the cheerleaders and dancers to be there to support their football team. It is the responsibility of the cheerleaders to pump up the crowd and fill the fans with spirit, while it is the Eaglette dance team’s responsibility to entertain the crowd during halftime. These things may not seem important, but to the girls on these teams it is what they do best. Many parents and friends come out to support our ladies while they cheer on our team. The dance team and cheerleaders are an essential part of the game. They make sure their jobs are fulfilled and people are enthusiastic and ready to roll.

After a rough start, the Eaglettes are back on their toes. Captain Mandy Pitre says, “I am proud of the dance team. After losing two members and going through a few rough patches, I feel like we are back and stronger than ever. I am very confident that we will make you proud.” Mrs. Pam Mechana has led the team for the past three years, and we hope that she will return for another. The dance team has nine members from all different classes. They dance at all home games, away games, and even pep rallies. Not only do the dancers dance at halftime, but they also give a very entertaining stand routine. The dance team practices everyday until the job is finished. They are a hard-working group of girls who are very dedicated to staying committed and pleasing the crowd.

Like the dancers, the cheerleaders are well-respected and hardworking. The cheerleading squad is a member of 14 girls who worked hard to make the cut. The cheerleaders attend all home and away games. Not only do they perform at pep ralleys, but they also run the show. They make sure everything is organized and ready to go to pump up the students and football players. Mrs. Rachael Williams leads the cheerleaders, and makes sure they are prepared and ready for all of the games. The cheerleaders are fun to watch and make sure the crowd stays on
their feet.
