The Dallas Post Dallas, PA February 21, 2002 Cheerleaders (continued from page 1) Simpson sang the Star-Span- gled Banner. The life of a cheerleader is full. In addition to the competi- tion squad, both of the girls are on the football squad and are members of a stunt group that took fifth in the nation last year at a competition in Florida. The competition squad also took second and third place in other divisions at the competition. “You have to be really dedi- cated,” said Coletti. “If you have a competition on Saturday, you have cheerleading all week. And you might have practice from $2000 scholarship in Hawaii. Vy Courtney Coletti, co-captain of the competition squad, won a “We know each other more than anybody because we're around each other 24/7.” Courtney Coletti Lake-Lehman cheerleader He — two to four for your stunt group too. Then early Sunday morning you might have team practice.” Coletti and Wentzel carry planners to help organize their , oh time between practice, school, homework, family and jobs. They funded a large part of their trip to Hawaii with their earn- ings from Burger King. However, the competition squad does a lot of fund raising. “We're responsible for paying for everything,” said coach Sandy Dobrowolski. After prac- tice, Dobrowolski calls for mon- ey to be handed in for candy sales and asks if anyone else has pizza orders. On Sunday, they will meet early for another practice, then set up for an annual fundraising dance for the elementary school kids. By the time cleanup is done, it will probably be 6 p.m. The latest fundraising will be used towards a trip to Washing- ton, D.C. in mid-March for a competition called the Battle at the Capital. “Shelly and I are both com- peting for our team to go to Hawaii down at Washington, D.C.,” Coletti said. “We're doing our routine with the whole squad and separately we're do- ing our own individual thing. Then we have a stunt group.” Coletti and Wentzel feel a great responsibility towards their younger teammates. “As captains, Shelly and I have to really work on making sure everyone gets along and bring the freshmen in,” Coletti ex- plains. “Weaving them in with other people.” “We're all like family,” she adds. “We know each other more than anybody because we're around each other 24/7.” Legion sponsors essay contest, slates breakfast The Daddow-Isaacs Post 672 American Legion is accepting entries for the 2002 American Legion Essay Contest.
