Madison Morris is our Female Athlete of the Week! Coach says "Madison Morris is new to cheer this year. She has been working really hard to learn all of the sidelines and cheers that we do during games. Madison showed dedication to her sport by cheering for both the 7th grade and 8th grade football games this past Tuesday. She was the only 7th grader who cheered with the 8th graders. Madison also learned how to do a shoulder sit stunt. Be watching for her to do this stunt during girls basketball cheer. Keep working hard, Madison!"
