As the annual Law vs. Foran Thanksgiving football rivalry game approaches, Senior Editor-In-Chief Molly Lynch and Junior Entertainment Editor Ava Grippo interviewed senior cheerleader Hunter Corris on how he and his team have been preparing for this major event.  

Molly Lynch and Ava Grippo: What are you most looking forward to for the thanksgiving game?

Hunter Corris: I’m most looking forward to getting ready at my teammates house before the game starts. Lots of food, music, laughter, and best of all, the friends.

ML & AG: How has the team prepared for the game?

HC: We have prepared throughout the entire season by practicing the half time routine at practice and game. Most recently, Law had a practice with Foran to go over the combined halftime routine and it looks great.

ML & AG: Do you team have any pre-game rituals?

HC: One of my pregame rituals is making myself a double espresso at home before the game. Another big ritual I have is blasting cheer music from well known All-Star teams like TGLC and Cheer Extreme to get hyped up for the game.

ML & AG: What goals have you guys been working towards for this year?

HC: So far this year we have been working towards a lot! our top priority being the half time routine and our sideline stunts, tumbling, and cheers. Another one of our major goals is learning and heavily practicing our competition routine. We’ve been working on it for just about two months now and we’re very hopeful for a successful season with lots of wins.

ML & AG: What has been your favorite memory so far this year?

HC: One of my favorite memories so far this season was landing my first full at practice. I’ve been working for this skill since freshman year and I finally did it. All of my teammates, my coaches, and myself were ecstatic about finally getting this skill after years of hard work and persistence.
