During the Oct. 10 Varsity home football game, Minisink’s youth football and cheer teams and their coaches were recognized!
The little cheerleaders stood with Varsity Cheerleaders, welcoming the Varsity football team to the field, while youth football players followed.
During halftime, the Mighty Mite Football and Youth Cheerleading teams performed many skills they learn each week at practice. These programs strive to offer students the opportunity to learn about teamwork, skill, and a love for the sport.
It was a great evening, which included a BIG varsity win, and it was wonderful to have these young students be part of it! Thank you to everyone who played a role in its success!
