had dinner with the girls, led them in prayer, danced, cheered, and enjoyed doing the “girl thing” all night long! Everyone who<br />
attended the clinic was invited back to perform on January 29 during a Varsity home basketball game. �e evening was filled<br />
with fun, fellowship, and lots of laughter. �e Spirit Team intentionally tried to create an atmosphere of faith and charity, in<br />
