2006 Miracle Yearbook

Cheerleading The basketball games at Cedarville are different from other universities, not only because of how the players perform but also because of the cheering that takes place. I really enjoyed going to the games because the environment was fun and entertaining. Encouragement came from the fans, the coaches, and the team members on the bench. The biggest source of encouragement, however, came from the sidelines: the Cedarville University cheerleading squad. Throughout the games, the cheerleading squad showed off their hard work through stunts they performed. Flipping and flying through the air, the squad relied upon teamwork and trust. During half-time, the cheerleaders often put on a show that displayed all of Front row left to right: Jessicica Forsythe, Sarah Searles, Heather Kelton, Laura Teague, Sarah Gneiser Middle row: Coach Kristin Miller, Mary Ann Alanoly, Kaitlin McDaniel, Regan Rice, Rachel Martindale, Ashley Coale, Lisa Largent, Bethany Kirkendall, Coach Dawn Scott Back row: Justin Marshburn, Kyle Gunn, Clayton Ludlow, Anthony Butz, THE BEE David Erlandson, Jeremy Hawkins, Matthew Seibler, Ben Curtis, Isaac Pittman `r Regan Rise, Heather Kelton, Rachel Martindale, and Bethany Kirkendall are all smiles as they pose for the camera during their "head banger mount." their stunts and hard work that they had practiced. They always had smiles on their faces and a heart for what they were doing. Dawn Scott, the head coach for the cheerleading team, has faithfully worked with the cheerleading squad for ten years. "She loves us and gives so much of her time without receiving much in return," squad member Sarah Searles said. Aside from supporting the University, the cheerleading squad participated in a variety of ministries. Over the past year, the squad hosted mini-camps for area high school cheerleading squads. The team also went on a missions trip to Eleuthera, where they used their talents to share the gospel. Regan Rice reflected,"We were able to share what we have learned about trust, faith, and unity in cheerleading and tie it directly to the way we are commanded to trust the Lord and place our faith in Him."
