By: Brooke Peterson With the school year coming to an end, so are most high school sports. For the seniors, this will be that last season of their high school sports teams. Sports are a huge part of a lot of students' lives. They meet so many great people and form a family within their teams. From soccer, football, baseball, softball, swim, track, cheerleading, high-steppers, and many more to list students get so involved and they form a lifestyle around their team. Some students will continue their sports dream into college, but many won’t. That last game and senior night is therefore quite emotional for many seniors.
Senior, Libbee Bennett, has been a cheerleader ever since she was old enough to participate in the activity. Cheer is something she values very deeply and she said it has made high school that much more memorable. Bennett loved performing at football games the most and said, “The crowd is so much fun to interact with while cheering.” Bennett's favorite performance was when Box Elder High School and Bear River had a choreographed routine together. She explained it was so much fun to meet new people and see friends from Brigham City. Bennett started cheering for the high school her sophomore year and it has been nothing but awesome memories all the way through to now. Bennett absolutely has loved traveling games to perform because of the thrill of going against another school and showing off Bear River’s amazing teams! Bennett stated, “Home games will always hold a special place in my heart. Being surrounded by people who supported the team was great.” Bennett was so sad, yet excited to start senior year because she did not want to see cheering come to an end, but she is also ready to move on with life and start her career. Bennett’s coaches made sure to have the seniors feel loved and appreciated all throughout the season. On senior night for the cheer team, Bennett felt so distraught that her last year had come and gone so quickly; she was not ready to leave the family the team and created with each other. Senior years are always hard because you are leaving everything you have known for the past 12 years. Some athletes start as young as four years old and go all into high school. Moving on from such great experiences and everything you have known is hard, but exciting.
