Encouraging fans in the stands, battling cheer squads on the sidelines, dribbling players on the court. All of this can be found during basketball games—winter’s version of “Friday Night Lights.”

Spartan supporters came to cheer on the White Station basketball team as they played against Central on Jan. 12.

The game definitely met one senior’s expectations. “The cheerleaders are giving their all. I feel like number 11, B.B. Brown, is giving his all, and my friends over there are cool,” Kya Franks (12) said.

Not only was the environment energetic but the team was, too. Multiple dunks and free-throws were made, leading to Spartan victory of 88-66.

“We have a lot of work to do still,” said Volunteer Assistant Coach Quinton Johnson, “but we are doing a lot of things headed in the right direction.”
