Student section fires up

     

At the last home volleyball game the student section's theme was "white out."

      At Chadron High School the school spirit is carried out by the student section. 
      Principal Jerry Mack states that there has never been a problem with the student section except for a few years ago there was a hand held sign that had inappropriate things written on it. Mack loves the student section and supports it 100%. He thinks its "very well monitored"  and that the kids in the student section do a good job making sure they don't just single out one opponent and that they cheer for every single player. Mack states that the student section should be more distracting and crazy. Mack also stated, "At state competitions they have hidden NSAA people sitting in the crowd watching to see what school has the best student section. Whoever has the best student section and shows the most pride and spirit wins. The school gets mailed the report that the hidden NSAA people have filled out. The very first year they decided to do this Chadron High School got first place. "Mack tries to get the word out as much as possible by using his Twitter and also putting it in the announcements. 
     This year senior Harlie Kennell is the one that is mostly in charge. Jerry Mack thinks when the class of 2016 graduates the leader next year will be Brooks Roberts.
     Senior Emmy Mills is also a big part of the student section. Emmy stated, "Harlie is the one that comes up with the themes, and they come up with the themes based on the games or the opponents we are playing." Emmy loves when other student sections come, because it's "constant battling." One thing that Mills does not like is when students come to the game and sit in the student section and are not dressed up following the theme. She states, "There is no point in cheering and everyone can agree." Emmy states that it makes the playing environment 110% better because they get the players pumped and excited to bring out a victory. She isn't sure who will be the new leaders next year, but she strongly thinks that Spencer Margetts or Brooks will lead a lot being seniors next year.
     The student section is very important at Chadron High School to the teams, the students, the parents and the principal.
