Winter sideline cheerleaders attend all Varsity boys' basketball games to cheer for and show support of our Panthers. (Note: girls' basketball and soccer players are not able to participate in winter sideline cheerleading, but they can participate in fall sideline cheerleading).
Winter sideline cheerleading practices begin in October and games begin in early December. Practices are on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:30-4:30 pm in the cafeteria. Games times and dates vary and will be communicated directly with team members as soon as they are available but are usually also on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Tryouts for all cheerleading teams occur in April of the previous school year for upperclassmen and June for freshmen.
