âWe were very happy,â said co-captain Amber Butler. âThat was the best we have performed anywhere. We hit things that we didnât hit anywhere else.â
The Nighthawks finished third at the South-West Conference championships back on January 31 and then finished second at the Chief Challenge at Nonnewaug High School on February 14. On February 28, the squad was third at the CSA Spirit Festival at Quinnipiac College.
âIt was a perfect ending to a good season,â said Butler.
And with all that behind them, the cheerleaders began working hard to recruit new members for the 2004-05 squad. They planted posters at the high school, the middle school and at St. Rose School and held tryouts this week to try and bolster the unit.
