Thorne. My favorite part of the clinic is when the children get to perform the routine for everyone, said Homer. I love this part because it show the hard work the team put into the clinic. It also shows the students hard work in learning the routine. The pom squad is preparing for a big turn out. The clinic is a way to get the community to attend the basketball games. We've been so excited and looking forward to doing the clinic again this year, said Clifton. We hope to have a good turn out of kids at the clinic, and a great turn out of fans at the game.
