In the past, sporting events at Asbury have been sparsely attended and somewhat lacking in spirit. To put a spark in fans at Asbury sporting events this year, there will be a mascot and a pep squad at athletic home games. Accompanying the mascot at games will be a pep squad. Freshmen Jen Isager and Sarah Kemp are co-founders of the pep squad. The squad won't be jumping into things too quickly, though.
Students can also show school spirit artistically.
The pep squad will be wearing t-shirts that will be designed by one of Asbury's own. The Screaming Eagles Committee will be having a contest for a shirt logo, and there will be a limited quantity of these shirts given out at the first home basketball game. Sports at Asbury are rising in importance. Hopefully, by the addition of the mascot and pep squad, it will increase even more.
