With the advent of competitive
cheer as a team sport, it is very difficult for cheerleaders to cover all the
sporting events that need pep squads. Under the direction of Mrs. Kimberly
Bennett, the newly formed Battle Creek Central High School Spirit Cheer Club
made their debut on Friday night, January 16, during the Battle Creek Central
Bearcat vs. Portage Central basketball game. The club is not school sponsored
and therefore the 24 members are conducting fund raising activities to pay
for their uniforms and equipment including selling cookie dough and spring
bulbs. The young ladies on the squad are under the same strict grade and
conduct requirements as any other athletes. Their obvious hard work and
practice was evident Friday night with their both their cheer and dance
routines.

The club members are Denisha Aggers, Jade Bolden, Breanna Bundle, Casandra Bundy,
Dejanay Frederick, Alexis Jackson, Shara Jamierson, Ciara McClain, Kamille Magee, Imani Moore, Skylar Pollard, Juaniqua Prather, Nykeenia
Robinson, Jennifer Smith, Shaiana Walker, Martisha Walls, Breonna Warren,
Ashley Waters, Asyia Watson, Timeka
Wells, Jasmine Williams, Tyana Williams, Jacalyn Willis, Jasmine Winston-Daniel, and coach,
Kimberly Bennett.
