THE CHEER TEAM
LEARNS NEW
STUNTS, DANCES,
AND CHEERS FOR

SEASON AND
HOMECOMING
PEP RALLY.
The varsity cheer team welcomed
Gina Gabriel, Extreme Cheer and
Dance instructor, as their new coach,
and her younger sisters, Tara and
Ashley, as assistant coaches.
"She's taught us to be more
disciplined and to know what we're
doing at all times. We are very
confident in her as our coach,"
Heather Motro (10) said.
After months of training, starting
in July at the National Cheer
Association Camp, the team
mastered the new stunts and dances
Gabriel choreographed for them.
"I think we shocked a lot of people
and created a new definition of the
cheer team," Victoria Araj (12) said.
Throughout the season, Gabriel
tracked the team's progress by
recording practices.
"We were excited to show the school
that we're new and improved," Erin
Bohné (10) said.
