LET’S GO DOGS! The 2022-23 Lady Bulldog Cheer Squad attended UCA Cheer Camp on the campus of Texas A&M University in College Station last week. Hamilton’s cheer team received coveted gold ribbons in each of their two evaluations, and senior Grace Killian earned a Pin-It Forward Award for outstanding spirit and leadership. The Lady Bulldog cheerleaders posed in front of Texas A&M University’s Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park. A crown jewel of collegiate baseball stadiums, Blue Bell Park opened in February 2012. Much of the stadium’s masonry was completed by Hamilton’s very own P&S Masonry. Pictured below (l-r) on the back row, Hamilton’s cheer team, including Laney Lane, Cortland Mehaffey, Grace Killian, Head Coach Patricia Leach, Averi Poe, Chloe Dolloff and Clementine Cooper. In the front, Campbell Lengefeld, Fernanda Olalde, Lily Emeyabbi and Destini Ranaghan. Not pictured, Hamilton’s beloved Sparky, aka Helena Knutson, was unable to attend UCA Cheer Camp.
