Quote from 1988 Yearbook pg. 70-71
(Written by cheerleaders Kristie Nicholson and Jennifer Shaver In reference to the Boys Basketball Team playing in the AA State Championship Tournament in Nashville in 1988)
As we were traveling to the Boys State Basketball Tournament in Nashville, everyone felt nervous but very excited. Each day we tried to keep the fans and the team fired up for the game of that day. As the wins kept coming, the excitement rose to its highest capacity. We had made it to the final game and needed to stay behind the team more than ever. As the last seconds ticked away, we were behind by 1 point. Then the game was over and we had lost. Although everyone was naturally disappointed, no one cauld have been more proud of the team than we, the cheerleaders, were. When the game was over and the awards were given, we were extremely excited to find out that our squad had received the 1988 State Boys Basketball Tournament Sportsmanship Award. Out of eight squads in the tournament, we were chosen to have led our crowd with spirit and sportsmanship more than any other squad there. We were all crying and couldn’t believe the honor we had just received. We felt that everything we had accomplished should be dedicated to the memory of Gidgette McNabb. She will always remain a member of our squad.
