At the Oct. 24 football game a moment was taken to recognize the seniors. This seems to be a tradition for all sports at the last game of the season.
I am writing to ask why the M-CHS cheer & dance team was not acknowledged.
As a parent and a fan of these girls I am offended and the girls were saddened by this oversight. They are out there at every game, rain, snow or shine, cheering on the team and entertaining the crowd.
They support all the school sports, organize and decorate for school dances, spend countless hours of their free time volunteering in some capacity for M-CHS and essentially are the spirit of the school.
These girls are subject to all the rules and eligibility requirements that all athletes are, they train hard starting at 6 a.m. and again after school untill 6 p.m.
They are dedicated, they are awesome, they deserve to be acknowledged.
Thank you, MCHS dance seniors Shannyn Livingston, Mackenzie Branson and Shaunnell Butler, and thank you cheer captain Natasha Gordon.
I have enjoyed watching you perform over the last four years and will miss you!
