Under the direction of Mrs. Tami Greene, the Superkids were invited to perform last Thursday at the halftime of the Nevada State basketball game. There werent too many fans complaining of the ticket price when they finally got up to leave that evening. With the showing the Superkids put on and the fingernail-bitin- g cage contest that took place, the money was quite insignifcant. One mother, Teri Chatterton who has mm l,vf 4 7 IL- & f U - n Si v ti t- - $., JU Is, -- -, i it r day-lon- t three daughters with the Superkids, remarked, It was the best theyve ever done as a drill team. I didnt see any mistakes. The performance they presented must have been spectacular with the standing ovation the girls received when they finished with their finale event and left the floor. When the group took their cars back to the rental outfit, the manager who had attended the game and witnessed the halftime commented to the mothers he had never seen a halftime group get a standing ovation at the halftime of a Nevada Las Vegas game. i $ r"U jr M r T , Mini-dom- y Wendy Stenquist and Paulette Jones were just three of the Superkids that performed in Las Vegas last week.
