Team practice lasted aroundfour hours on practice nights, where they learned their roles in thevarious routines and stunts that they performed. The guys were responsible for the safety of the girls in each of the stunts. The girls had to learn a total of ten different routinesforperformanceatdifferenttimes. The team verse was Phillipians 2:3,4 which says, "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should not only look to your own interests, but also to the interests of others." Coach Dawn Scott urged them to think about the words of that passage daily. The girls on thesquad had a ministry of encouragement to the players, leaving them little goodiesandencouraging notes. Not only were the cheeleaders an encouragement to the players and fans, they also encouraged each other. "There were a few new guys on the squad this year, and I enjoyed working them and helping them to learn the techniques," said Senior Co-Captain Tom Sanderson. As with any team, the cheerleaders developed close friendships. "After four years of experience, I can honestly say that this year, we were more friends than just teammates. In years past, we'd go to practice then godo ourown thing,butthis year we were pretty tight as a team, and that madepractice andgamesmoreenjoy- able." added Tom.
