Loyalty - First Half

Hello ladies!


   Thank you for your patience in waiting for this video. I hope you all had a blast at our camp, I know Coach Sumner and I sure did! The week after camp was OSAA Moratorium Week, which meant we were not allowed to contact you at all, hence the delay in getting you the video.

Make sure you also check out the Second Half of Loyalty so you are fully prepared.

Veterans, please watch this video because there are a few minor changes. This will help us all be on the same page, and run our practices more smoothly. Can't wait to see you all at practice next week :)


And a special thanks to Soraya and Victoria for volunteering as tributes!

Camp 2015



        Hope everyone has been having a wonderful summer! I'm sure you've been working very hard on your workouts (if not this is your chance to start) and are looking forward to camp. It's only two weeks away!


OSAA Camp Ridgeview High School
Saturday July 25th 9:00am - 4:00pm
Meet at MHS @ 9:00 sharp!

  • We need drivers to help our team get to Ridgeview High School! We would prefer that these drivers be adult family members of our cheerleaders. If your family is able to help please contact Coach Sumner (her contact info is on your handouts) or post a message to the Madras High Cheerleading page on Facebook.
  • Everyone needs to have a pair of black shorts for camp. Not capris, or spandex. Black shorts! Omni Cheer has lots of black shorts on their website for under $6.
  • Coach Sumner will bring shirts for everyone. Please make sure you wear a good sports bra. 
  • Cheerleaders will need to bring their own lunch and water. Please make healthy choices for your lunch so you don't feel gross for the second half of camp! Bring a water bottle, there will be at least 50 other cheerleaders there and you don't want to wait in line for the drinking fountain. 
This post will be updated as needed. Please pass this along to anyone from our team who needs it. Thanks!

Football Tryouts 2015


Welcome back! 

MHS Tryouts 
May 27th & 28th (both days are mandatory)
4:00pm     

IMPORTANT UPDATE BELOW!! 

 It's already that time, tryouts are almost here! Coach Sumner and I are so excited to see new and familiar faces in a few weeks. Tryouts will be slightly different this round. For tryouts this year you will have the materials BEFORE the first day.This means that you can perfect the cheers and dance on your own before showing up!

     Here is the link to ALL of the videos you'll need for tryouts. There are several versions (front and back) to several of them.

  • IMPORTANT UPDATE - Youtube has deleted the videos of the dance we were learning. We will instead teach you at short alternative dance at tryouts. You only need to learn the two cheers BEFORE tryouts. 
  • MHS Chant (this is the video with the man and the woman. They use the words A-H-S, red and white.) Our words will be "M-H-S, blue and white." 
  • Come On Buffs, Let's Fight (this is the video with the 2 girls in the blue uniforms.) Our words will be "Blue, red, and white. Come on Buffs, Let's fight."

Those are the three pieces that will be judged for tryouts! Please contact us if you have any questions. Leave a comment on the blog, or check out our Madras High Cheerleading page on Facebook! 

We can't wait to see you on May 27th!

Cheerleading Vocabulary

Perhaps this would be better titled "What is NOT in a Cheerleader's Vocabulary." I found this article to be informative and offers a great perspective that is sometimes hard to see. Take the time to read it! You'll only get better because of it.
