Student Section Conquers Basketball Games

Basketball has always been a big deal at MHS. At every game, there’s a huge student section usually led by the Hype Squad. Without our student section, the games would be very different.

“I think it has a big effect on how the players play because if the players are playing and no one is cheering for them then it’s kind of like they don’t have a purpose to play,” Senior Kenzie Parker said.

Hype squad is a big part of the student section. They usually lead the student section in cheers and getting the crowd pumped up. They also prepare for the next games.

“We talk about if it’s a white out and some cheers maybe that we are going to do,” Senior Jarod Rydalch said.

One of the crowds favorites cheers is the Numa Numa. Even Coach Schwab enjoys it.

“I love it! I wish we could do it every quarter. Even the other night I was sittin there and I was talking to the boys in the middle of the time out and I was facing the Numa numa section and our boys were looking at me and I stopped what I was saying and I said ‘Hey, turn and look at the Numa Numa’,” Basketball Coach Schwab said.
