The North Country Cheerleaders were on hand to perform at halftime on Tuesday. From their inception last fall to right now they have grown leaps and bounds.
Literally.
Their routines are becoming increasingly more complex, and head coach Danielle Gage has a simple answer as to why.
“Lots and lots of practice and the girls are working really hard. There is no one to really single out because the work hard as a team.”
Their first competition is on the horizon, and if they continue to work hard and put in the time, they should be able to turn some heads at the event.

NEWPORT–The Rice Green Knights built a fourteen point lead in the first quarter and never looked back as they defeated the North Country boys basketball team 80-52 on Tuesday night.
Rice was hot right from the opening tip, going on a seven point run to kick off the game. Caleb Prue scored the Falcons first points of the contest when he grabbed a rebound and nailed the short jumper making it 7-2.
Casey Tipson picked a Falcon pocket and made the easy two to get the lead back to seven, but Devon Martin cut it down to four with nice three ball.
