Wolf cheer captain Kylie Marie has spirit. Do you? (John Fisken photos)

A young cheerleader is not so sure about this whole camera in her face thing.

  Calm and serene before her performance, the words of Matthew McConaughey running through her mind. “Alright, alright, alright.”

CHS cheerleaders stand at attention during the national anthem.

“I’m waving them like I just don’t care … but I do care. I do!!”

“I have two pom poms and I’m not afraid to use them!”

Ayanna Jeter prepares to fly.

Just hanging out, waiting for their moment in the spotlight.

“How YOU doin’?”

Robin Cedillo’s smile lights up the entire prairie.

Cheridan Eck is the Energizer bunny come to life.

As Friday night’s CHS Homecoming festivities played out, the Wolf cheer coach had already put in a long day.

You would never know it, however, as she bounced along to her team’s performance, watching every move with an eagle eye from the press box, mentally urging on her girls as they worked with a group of junior cheerleaders.

As her combined forces brought their performance to what seemed like a fairly flawless close, Eck jumped up, clapped her hands and mouthed a low “YES!!”

And then she was off to do the other million things she would accomplish before bedtime.
