The Cowgirls are a great help to the spirit of the school.  With most of the young men of the school actively engaged in some athletic sport, it is for the young women to give the enthusiasm from the side line.  These girls do just that.  Rain or shine, winter or summer, they have stayed with the teams under all conditions.  Their school spirit is an example to all who visit the games.
