What would we do without cheerleaders, the unsung yell leaders who in countless games show up ready to cheer on their home school's team. Wearing uniforms once, twice, and even up to three or four times a week in post season play, almost forgetting what casual clothes feel like.
St. John Cheerleaders
Trying to fit their studies in between school and after school cheerleading practices, spending hours and hours working up routines to entertain their home town audience, not to mention those who are also out for sports, play practice and other school events.
Macksville Cheerleaders
Next time you're in the stands, just yell those cheers a little louder, nothing would please them more. A big thank you to the Tiger and Mustang cheerleaders for a job well done!
St. John's cheerleaders are seniors Sara Steinman, Kaylene Rudy, and freshmen Gio Vanlenzuela and Breanna Towers.

Macksville's cheerleaders are senior Jennifer Roach, juniors Kenzi Pavlu, Kiley Freeman, M'Kaylee Woolf, freshman Erin Hornbaker, and junior yell leader Tracy Freeman (in the background).
