Little ones show big spirit at cheer clinic

When the cheer clinic kids had their turn to perform at halftime of the Sept. 8 HHS football game, they did not disappoint. But that’s no surprise to the Holyoke fans who have come to look forward to the traditional display of school spirit. Divided by age, participants led the crowd in the cheers they learned in practice. Then they all joined together for the finale. Strutting their stuff in the final dance are Madison Noffsinger, Addyson Kinnie, Haley Koch and Harper Sprague, pictured from left. About 50 kids participated in the clinic, which was taught by HHS cheerleaders. They had two practice sessions before the big halftime show. — Johnson Publications
