Eight cheerleaders attend camp BY PETER WILLIAMS News Editor Eight Perquimans County High School cheerleaders participated in a three-day camp this month at N.C. State University. The team this year includes senior Mikayla McCall; ju niors Amia Rountree and My’Niya Harvey; sophomores Adriana Figueroa and Taylor Garcia and freshmen Kelsey Perry and Maggie Williams. The team finished in sec ond place in final evaluations in the small varsity non-tum- ble division. Winning indi vidual awards were Figueroa, McCall, Perry and Rountree. PCHS coach Gabby Las siter said participation was great for the young squad. Only three members on the team—Rountree, Garcia and Figueroa — are back from last year’s squad. The rest haven’t cheered at the high school level. The staff at the Edge Cheer and Dance Camp consisted of college level cheerleaders. The camp ran from 7 am. until 9 p.m. that Monday and Tuesday and wrapped up at 4 p.m. on Wednesday. SUBMITTED PHOTO Perquimans County High School cheerleaders (front row, center) are pictures with others participating in a cheerleading program at N.C. State University last week. A donation from the Albe marle Plantation Women’s Club made the trip possible, Lassiter said. It’s Lassiter’s second year as PCHS coach, but not her first time at cheerleading. She started when she was in third grade and when on the cheer in college at N.C. State. Perquimans County girls don’t get that opportunity to start so young, Lassiter said. Most don’t get their first chance until they reach mid dle school. “In this county we don’t have anything for the younger ages, so most girls get in volved with basketball, soft- ball and volleyball. It’s hard starting a sport like this when you’re in seventh grade and haven’t done it before.” Helping build the program this year is Meredith Wood who is coaching the Perqui mans County Middle School team. Wood is also a former N.C. State cheerleader and the coordinator for the Perqui mans County 4-H program.
