Fall sports are back in full swing and so is the student section. The football mustangs had
their home opener against Havre De Grace on September 6th. Although it was a loss of 35–14, the
student section did not disappoint. The ‘stangs showed up in their best red, white and blue outfits
and with their most patriotic spirits to help support our football team. The ‘stangs cheered and sang
songs including “Party in the USA” and “Star Spangled Banner” with their loudest voices. If you
are free on Friday night, you know where to go. Our next home game is against Elkton on
September 27th. To keep yourself updated on games and themes follow the CMW spirit page on

The student section has an impact on our players. In an interview with Phoebe
Hennessey, one of the student section leaders, she expressed how much effect a good student
section has on the field. She says that a loud and aggressive section, that’s very involved, gets the
players hyped and energized.
Phoebe is most excited about being a student section leader this year due to getting to
lead it with her friend group. She’s a leader alongside Ava Lewis, Dylan Sander, and Alex
Ashman. She loves that she gets to plan out themes for the games. Some of the themes this year
may include black out, white out, pink out, neon, and more. The themes are usually announced a
day before or the day of the game. As stated before, please refer to the CMW spirit account to
see the theme.
If you are attending a game, there is some information you need to know. A major
problem the student section is experiencing is the seating arrangements. Phoebe and the other
leaders want to make sure the seating arrangements are clear this year. She expressed that in past
years, “Underclassman have not been very cooperative”. She explained how they are working on
making signs to direct people better to their seats. The student section can get crowded, but make
sure you are aware where your seat is. As a reminder, seniors are in the front, juniors go behind
them, then sophomores, and finally freshman.
A final message that Phoebe wants the mustangs attending future games to hear is “Don’t
be afraid to show school spirit. Go all out, don’t be scared to cheer and dress up”. Showing
school spirit is in no way embarrassing. We hope to see everyone at the next game showing the
‘stangs support!
