To kick off the start of homecoming the Cougarettes performed a mixed routine. After the Cougarettes showed their Cougar spirit the cheerleaders did one of their cheers. During halftime the football boys went out and danced to Little Boo Thing. They practiced before they performed, getting a chance to make sure they knew the dance and were ready.

“It was awesome for them to be willing to cheer and dance at halftime. It was very fun to watch the boys dance!” said Katherine Bloch. “I think in the future we can try to practice more beforehand or practice earlier so the boys would feel more confident in doing it themselves. Overall it was great though and the boys did a good job!”
