Cheer Clinic Ignites Halftime By: Josie Long
Last week on Friday, October 3rd, the DeKalb Tiger Cheerleaders held their annual Cheer Clinic, but a little differently this time. In previous years, they had the Clinics during Basketball season; however, this year, it was during Football, which was exciting for many of the little ones who participated. The Cheerleaders held their first practice for the minis on September 28. For only practicing twice before the game, many of the girls were both excited and nervous about their performance. Their performance was a major success. “It was chaotic and fun. Watching the kids go out on the field was exciting because you got to see the work they put in,” said Sophomore Shaylee Phillips. For the most part, I think all the cheerleaders can agree that this is one of their favorite activities to be in charge of for the cheer season.
