“Let’s get wild” signs held up, Lucy Bricker, Bella Gustafson and Mackenzie Bumeter (9) cheer at the freshman football game against Lafayette, Sept. 17. “I have been cheering since sixth grade, so four years,” Bricker said. “The best thing about cheer is just getting to know the girls and bringing positive energy to the school while bringing school spirit. I am a base and sometimes backspot. I hold the stunts but everything else we all do. I like to be in control of the stunt and knowing it is up to us whether we are successful. I liked the Lafayette game because they are our rivals, so a lot more people came out to watch, which is exciting.” The Wildcats won, seven to six.
