As we start the new season of basketball here at Division Avenue, we are looking forward to many successful wins from the team. Our cheerleaders are working hard to improve on last season, try new and exciting stunts and cheers and cheer the Dragons on to victory. One interesting development this season is the addition of two very talented young men to the cheerleading team. They are both sophomores and have been working hard to help the team cheer the basketball players on. They are Tom Anderson and Alex DiDio. The school is very supportive of both boys and I am proud of their hard work and dedication. I'd like to welcome them to the team and I hope they continue to cheer for us for the rest of their high school career. FULL STORY
