I first became aware of cheerleaders when I was in junior high school. The only requirements for achieving this envied status seemed to be that you look adorable in the short skirt, baggy sweater and saddle-shoes, and that you could jump up and down, yell a lot, and generally attract attention. I didn’t know, at the time, that cheerleaders were required to audition for the role. These were called “try-outs” and girls practiced, along with their friends, for weeks ahead of time.

TIFFIN– The Spartans of Solon marched into the homeport of the Clear Creek Amana (CCA) Clippers and wreaked havoc upon coach Rodney Walls’ crew, dominating much of the game and taking home a 45-7 victory.
The Spartans owned the first quarter, putting up three touchdowns and scoring seemingly at will while thwarting the Clippers’ drives and holding them to their own half of the field.

ATKINS– Clear Creek Amana’s (CCA) Madelaine Hinsley was the third-fastest girl to cover the 4k distance Saturday, Sept. 8, at the Benton Invitational. Cross-country runners from thirteen schools gathered near the former Milwaukee Road railroad roundhouse site to run on what once was the Route of the Hiawatha’s, the long-abandoned railroad’s premiere cross-country passenger trains.
