The Bonners Ferry cheer team is preparing for competition season and is now co-ed with two boys coming out to cheer.

Having boys on the team is a game changer and allows the team to do additional stunts since the boys have a stronger base and larger hands to toss and catch fliers. Some of the boys were recruited after participating in PowerCheer, a sideline cheerleading activity that took place on Homecoming during the Powderpuff Football game. 

Since the beginning of the year, the team has picked up six additional girls, giving them enough athletes to form a JV squad. Some of the new additions came from fall sports, but participated in cheer in middle school.
