![The Jefferson dance team performs between the third and fourth quarter of the varsity girls basketball game. “A lot of the time, the captains choreograph a dance for us to practice during [practices] and at home,” junior Holly Huang said.](https://www.tjtoday.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/IMG_1369-1200x900.jpeg)

![During a game against Hayfield last year, junior Helena Johnson dribbles across the court. This season, the Jefferson cheer team will be performing courtside at all varsity basketball games. “I didn’t know too much about basketball, but after two games, I caught on,” sophomore cheerleader Caitlyn Wood said. “I think [sideline cheer] is good to have the crowd engaged and keep encouraging the team to do their best.”](https://www.tjtoday.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/basketball.png)
