Eaton: I took gymnastics, but I mainly danced when I was younger.
Bengal: What motivated you to start cheering?
Eaton: My sister and I started in an all-star team when I was in seventh grade and it was more of a dance than cheer. It was so much fun. Also, a lot of my friends were doing it.
Bengal: What is your goal as a cheer team during the athletic events?
Eaton: We try to get the crowd involved to pump up the players and to keep a positive attitude, even when we're losing.
Bengal: What is your most embarrassing moment in cheer?
Eaton: One time I was doing a tumbling pass across the stage and I did a back tuck and I fell into the curtain. The whole entire crowd started laughing at me.
Bengal: What is a positive thing about the cheer team?
Eaton: You learn how to work with different people and different personalities. Learning how to coordinate with each other is a good life skill.

Eaton: It was close to home and they had the program that I want to go to school for.
Bengal: What are you going to school for?
Eaton: Dental hygiene. I hope to be done in three more years.
