PCM cheer team closes season with end of year banquet
On March 6, PCM Cheer coaches Amy Brundage and Lindsay Landwehr held an end of year banquet for all three cheer teams including football cheer, wrestling cheer, and basketball cheer. This year’s banquet was made extra special by the coaches. The girls and their families enjoyed a pasta bar and cupcakes to celebrate their fantastic season. A video was made by senior Lily Ladehoff to highlight the season along with both coaches talking about how memorable the season was to each other.
“We just wanted to show how proud of you we are and how you have all grown this last year. We feel the banquet should be a big thing showing everyone’s teamwork and our appreciation for everyone. We are hoping to make cheerleading a big thing again like it was back in Amy and my day. And we want these girls to be seen as athletes and to get a spot in that trophy case,” said cheer coach Lindsay Landwehr.
