Tryouts were held in May and September.  During those tryouts candidates were judged on their abilities, attitudes and excitement.  The 2009-2010 squad consist of 9 girls and 6 guys.  If you are interested in trying out for the 2010-2011 squad please click on Tryouts '11.  We are looking for dedicated men & women!

This year we have 9 returners: Anna Farmer, Matt Friedlund, Lauren Funicelli, Andrew Goodwin, Katie Sroufe, Jordan Steele, Cassie Screeton, Ashley Upchurch and Holly Wagner.  Our new members include Ryan Austin, Rachel Batdorff Ashley Burson, Jessica Pasho and Derek Yocum.  All of these members will be very important to the 2009-2010 squad. 

Practices began in September.  Practices included conditioning, stunting, learning cheers/chants, tumbling, motions, etc.  As a team we started with the basics and then moved forward.  Practices are fun but always challenging. 

On October 10th we attended a group camp at Ball State University.  The team worked on cheers, chants, stunts and gymnastics.  On Oct. 24th some of the members also attended an in-house camp where Ball State University came to demonstrate partner stunting.  Both of these camps helped the squad not only improve on stunts but also get to know each other.  

Games began November 3rd.  The squad hosted their annual cheer clinic in November and participants came back to the game that afternoon and cheered.
