Dexter, Missouri - A cheerleader is defined as a member of a group of young women who shout out special songs or chants to encourage the team and entertain the crowd during a game such as football or basketball or even volleyball.
These young ladies most definitely fit that description. They encourage the crowd to support their Bearcats each time they take the court or field.
It’s not that easy to tumble and cheer, jump and scream and remember every word of every cheer in sequence with the moves and steps, or flips and jumps!
Our girls lead our Bearcat fans in numerous cheers and are physically active throughout the game same as any athlete. They are key leaders in our community because without them we would have little spirit. They guide us throughout the evening with their tumbling, stunting, and promotion of spirit. Our games would not be complete with out those ladies motivating us to cheer for our favorite Bearcat!
This year the Dexter Middle School has several cheerleaders in both he 7th and 8th grades. They include Jillian Avery, Colby Christian, Madilyn Hampton, Delaney Lemmon, Landree Markham, Abigail McCormick, Gracie McDonald, Sydney Patrick, Maci Rauls, Blair Rogers, Hannah Bollinger, Malia Cook, Maddie Jacques, Hallie Keathley, Olivia Lacy, Jadyn Northcutt, Erica Parris, Lexi Renken, Rae-Ann Riddle, and Macy Roper.
Come out and support these fine young ladies as they motivate us with their cheers and athleticism. #GoBearcats #CheerleadersRock
