I did not realize that the Highlanders won the State championship until I received this photo.
Homestead had a tradition of producing fine gymnasts. I remember that there was a hard core
rivalry between Homestead and Preble. The great part of this photo is that the cheerleaders
also appear as the vital part of the team that they were. When participating in some of the
lesser attended varsity sports (like gymnastics and swimming) it was always great to have
cheerleaders, managers and devoted parents coming to support the team.
