Cheer Returns for the Next Sports' Season By: Caitlyn Neely Members of the competition cheer team pose during their routine. Photo courtesy of Caitlyn Neely The Alton High School cheerleading team has two different seasons - a football season where the cheerleading team drills down on their skills and a competition season where the team works on their routine and competes against other teams in their division. The varsity competition cheer team competes in the co-ed division. There are many different divisions throughout Illinois High School Association cheerleading. Some of these divisions include small varsity, medium varsity, large varsity and co-ed. Throughout IHSA, all cheer teams compete ranging from teams in Chicago to teams in Jonesboro and beyond. All of these divisions are very hard in their ways, but one thing that makes the co-ed division stand out is the boys. To qualify for this division, the team must have at least two boys on the team.

Since the varsity cheer team is in this division, they need to work very hard to succeed. “I think the season will go mostly well,” Jada Bruce, a junior on the varsity team said. “But I think there will be struggles with personal issues that will slow down our progress.

The cheerleading team's first competition is being held in the main gymnasium on Nov. 27. 10
