The team includes seniors Lily Cook, Hallie Halter, Madison Massa, Taylor Schreckenberg, and Wil Seiler; sophomores Ashlynn Massa, Paula Redondo, and Rylie Schreiner; and freshman Savannah Jansen.

The cheerleaders go to many basketball games near and far to cheer on the team. They show off elaborate cheers at pep rallies throughout the year, and they perform two dances during the season. One dance is only the cheer squad, performed on the night of Homecoming. And the other dance is performed with the K-6 cheer squad, an exciting event for students all throughout the ages at Leopold. The cheerleaders debuted their skills at the Gatorade game and the Woodland Invitational Tournament and can be seen next at the Leopold vs. Zalma game at home Friday, Dec. 13.
