Lafayette High School’s Cheer Team is approaching the end of its season with just a few games left to cheer. The team recently returned from Nationals on February 5th, facing tough competition. Unfortunately, they didn’t advance past the preliminaries in either of their routines, disappointing some cheerleaders. However, their coaches offered reassuring words, encouraging them to maintain a positive outlook: “Don't be upset with your performance.”
Lafayette’s Cheer team has cheered many games and cheered a game on Thursday, March 5th. This game was determined if the Girls' Basketball team made it to Regionals, they could cheer another game.
With the season's conclusion, excitement is mounting as the team prepares to host open gyms starting March 12th. These sessions present a golden opportunity for current members and newcomers interested in cheerleading. Each two-hour open gym will focus on improving techniques and fostering connections within the team. Participants will have a chance to enhance their skills in a fun and supportive environment. These open gyms appeal to everyone, whether they want to showcase their talents or get involved.
Many cheerleaders from last year have expressed their intent to attend the upcoming open gyms. However, some are still undecided about returning to the team following their Nationals experience. Cheerleader Mika Ishmael mentioned, “I am coming back to the team and hoping for an exciting journey.”
As the season ends, it's important to highlight the strong friendships the cheerleaders have formed through late-night practices and performances. Focusing on teamwork and a shared desire to improve, the Lafayette High School Cheer team is eager to return even stronger, ready to tackle new challenges and celebrate their achievements together.
If you want to join Lafayette's cheerleading team, mark your calendars for the open gyms beginning on Wednesday, March 12. The team is eager to welcome new faces and share the spirit of cheerleading. On this team, you can cheer for many games, compete, and possibly make it to the Nationals.
