The coaches have named their all-NIC-10 cheerleading squad, and as expected, it is dominated by members of the conference and state champion Belvidere North Blue Thunder.
Leading the way for North is senior Giana Enciso, who was named Most Valuable. She heads five Blue Thunder athletes who dot the 18-person first team.
Jeanine Ferger, whose Boylan Titans placed third in the conference behind North and Harlem, was named Coach of the Year.
