The high school cheerleaders recently attended the SCA Cheerleading Camp at McNeese State University in Lake Charles. The girls received a Superior ranking (blue ribbon) for their performance at the first evaluation. They were also named First Runners Up in the Varsity Division and Most Improved at the final competition. Captains Saranee Bell ’12 and Jessica Thiac ’12 and Olivia Fabacher ’13 were named All Americans. The team also earned Best Mascot.

Below are some photos from the camp. Way to go, girls!

The 2011-2012 cheerleading captains will be hosting a pre-try out clinic on Tuesday, April 26 from 4 – 6 p.m. in the MBO Athletic Center.  While not mandatory, attendance at the clinic is strongly recommended.  The try out dance and chant will be taught at this time.

For more information regarding high school cheerleading, please contact Megan Dubee at mdubee@ursulineneworleans.org.

The Skips Brought the Spirit during Pep Rally

We would like to thank the High School Student Council, E-Board President Maddie Skinner ‘11, and the Ursuline Academy Athletic Department for hosting today’s activity period. During the activity period, the winter sports of Basketball and Soccer were honored for their countless hours of practice and their commitment to Ursuline Academy. Junior Cassidy Eymard ‘12 introduced her teammates on the basketball team while Athletic Director Coach Bonnaffee introduced the soccer team members. The students were also entertained by a rare performance that combined the talents of our Ursuline Cheerleaders and our Ursuline Lionettes. Typically each squad performs at the activity periods, however, we do not recall any recent occasion where the two squads joined together as one. Great job, Ladies.

Upon the completion of the introductions, Student Council member Jill Taliancich ‘11 called for 10 representatives of each class to participate in a spirit game that would test the students’ skills in basketball and soccer. The Sioux would face their little sisters, the Red Feathers while the Merry Macs faced off against their little sisters, the Leps. The Skips’ little sisters are presently in seventh grade (therefore not present at the pep rally) which opened up a unique opportunity to have the teachers (faculty) challenge the sophomores. The student body would soon erupt when the Skips defeated the faculty to advance to the championship round against the Red Feathers and the Leps. When all was said and done, the Skips would finish in first place!

Each year, our volleyball and basketball teams entertain those in attendance with their impressive athletic moves. Whether a player is making a diving save that continues a play which eventually results in match-point for our state champions, or if one of UBALL’s top stars drops 30+ points on an opposing team, our fans are always entertained. With so much talent to observe, it is understandable that some things at the games tend to be overlooked. This typical oversight is regrettable given the fact that two sports are a constant at each game. Without their support and effort, our volleyball and basketball teams would not have seen such a successful run in recent seasons.

Game after game, the Ursuline Cheerleaders are in the Claiborne section of the MBO Athletic Center cheering for our teams. Their cheers have become so common an such a key part of the athletic experience, that during warm-ups, you can also see at a minimum three or four volleyball players in-sync with the performance. We observed the volleyball players earlier today cheering along with the UA cheers.

Not to take any attention from their fellow spirit-oriented sisters, the Lionettes patiently wait for their chance to entertain the crowd. Our award winning dance team can always be seen in the State St side of the MBO Athletic Center wearing their navy and gold and eagerly awaiting the opportunity to perform for the large crowds that attend UA Volleyball matches. During the intermission between the Junior Varsity and Varsity matches, the Lionettes take the spotlight at center court and impress us with a routine that has each member moving their arms and legs at the speed of light all in a well choreographed routine. Sometimes the loud applause from those in attendance is delayed as fans wonder, “Wow, how do they do that so fast and so well?”

On State St., we love our Lionettes and our Cheerleaders and we thank them for being at each game. From the start of the game until the end, they are there showing their support. Thank you for keeping us entertained. With each banner that the basketball and volleyball teams hang on the walls of the MBO Athletic Center, take pride knowing that a part of each banner was sewed by your efforts and your commitment to Ursuline.  

After the game… or after our next victory … be sure to take a moment and thank the cheerleaders and Lionettes for their hard work. A “high-five” or a simple compliment of ”Good Job” lets each of them know that they are appreciated  

Keeping the Crowd Entertained Game after Game

On Tuesday evening, the Ursuline Academy Volleyball program began its 2010 season with its home opener against Northlake Christian High School. The team cruised to a 3 – 0 match victory to open the season on the same evening the team unveiled its 2009 State Champions banner. We would like to thank the cheerleaders for their presence at today’s game and each of the team’s upcoming games. Check back next time for pictures of our dance team The Lionettes.

Below are some action shots from today’s game.
