The season began right after the Fall State Cheerleading Competition.  It was a  great season of the girls all coming together to cheer for both the boys and girls basketball teams.  Unfortunately, the boys team did not qualify for State, but the girls team did once again.  The girls were proud to cheer along the Girls Basketball team as they go for their 6th consecutive State Title.  The girls competed again this season in the NDCCA's State Cheer Competition and placed 3rd in the Class A Stunt Competition.

The season started out with tryouts in April.  We started out our fundraising with our great Cookie Dough fundraiser!  From there, we ran open gym practices on a weekly basis throughout the summer.  We ran our 4th semi-annual Mini Cheer Camp in June!  Regular season practice began in early August with the games beginning at the end of August.  We had an easy travel season with trips to Williston, Dickinson and St. Mary's.  The girls enjoyed cheering in the rain again at St Marys & Dickinson.  The football team had a rough season and did not qualify for the playoffs.  The football season ended early giving us time to practice and prepare for the Fall State Cheer Competition.  It was a struglle as we battled against several injuries and set backs along the way.  The team completed their season by competing in the State Cheer Competition at Fargo North High School in the Class A Small Varsity Division.
