The first night two “Outstanding Awards” were
given, one to Sarah-Catherine Thornton and the
other to Kara Gilmore for their hard work on day 1
at camp. The second night two “Outstanding
Awards” were given, one to Autumn Greene and the
other to Mackenzie Hobson for their great attitude
and leadership to the team. The third night
four “Outstanding Awards” were given to a
particular stunt group in their ability to work
together, their willingness to help others and
great attitude throughout the day. This
stunt group included Faith Abbott, Anna Lovell,
Kathryn Cox, and Ashley Dempsey. We also had
six girls try out for the All-Star cheer squad.
Just trying out is an honor and an accomplishment.
Those girl trying out for All-Stars were Mallarie
Riffe, Courtney Churchwell, Melviena Hayes, Anna
Lovell, Autumn Greene, and Kara Gilmore. Two
girls, Mallarie Riffe and Courtney Churchwell,
made the All-Star team. They were extended
an invitation to participate in the Walt Disney
World Thanksgiving Tour November 25-28, which
includes a pre-parade performance at the Magic
Kingdom. |

In addition
to the individual awards, the Dyer Eagle squad
excelled. The Dyer Eagle squad competed with
seven other Jr. High Squads. We received all
Superior blue ribbons for our Home Pom dance,
crowd cheer, extreme routine, final cheer
evaluation and final extreme routine evaluation.
We also received trophies during the awards day.
The squad received 1st place in the
Home Pom dance and 3rd place for our
crowd cheer during Camp Champs. They
received a trophy for Outstanding-Superior Squad,
which is given to squads that receive exclusively
blue ribbons throughout camp week. This award
allows our squad the opportunity, should we
choose, to cheer in the Capital
One
Bowl Pre-Game Performance in Orlando, FL on
December 29, 2008. The Dyer Eagle squad also
received spirit sticks two nights during camp and
received a spirit stick on awards day due to our
awesome Spirit throughout the week.
The Dyer
Eagle squad is coached by Mrs. Jessica Riffe and
Mrs. Mindy Thomas. |
