    The RHS cheerleaders have gone from ten to eight girls.  The squad practices two hours every week day and even some Saturdays.
   Not only do they perform at every home basketball game but now they're preparing for their Jr. Cheer camp that will be held from the 13-16.
   The girls are currently working on the "Hip Hop Dance" to perform at the Gold Beach game on Tuesday, February 7. 
They're also working on an elaborate stunt using all eight of them.
   For the next week they will learn “Hot, Hot, Hot”  to teach
to the Jr. Cheer camp kids as well as choreograph a new dance for the last game.
   With only five basketball game left it's crunch time for them to experiment, learn, and perform everything they want to do.
