Shadowlawn Middle sponsors two
basketball teams, a cheerleading squad and dance team that competes with
the other middle schools in the Shelby County System. Students in the 6th,
7th, and 8th grades are eligible to tryout. Practices are scheduled after
school. Students who participate in these groups have indicated a desire
to contribute time and energy for the good of themselves, the team, and
their school. We expect our athletes to be good representatives of Shadowlawn
Middle wherever they go. All students are encouraged to attend the games
and support our teams.
Basketball
Schedule 2005-2006
Girls Basketball
The Shadowlawn girls basketball team is the pride of Shadowlawn Middle School. In 2003-2004, the girls basketball team won all of their regular season games. They also won six Championship titles including The Memphis Grizzlies Park Service Invitational, The Memphis Middle School Open, The Crusader Invitational Chamionship, The Memphis Athletic Ministries Christmas Basketball Tournament, The North District Tournament and the Shelby County Tournament.
Boys Basketball
The boys basketball team at Shadowlawn is led by Mr. Llloyd. During their after school practices the team perfects their plays and shots. In 2003-2004, the boys basketball team placed second in the North District Chapionship and third in the Shelby County Championship.
Cheerleaders
The Shadowlawn Middle School cheerleaders are a group of girls chosen to lead our basketball teams to victory. Tryouts are in May of the previous year. Girls are chosen to be cheerleaders based on their enthusiasm, coordination, spirit, and conduct. Each year the cheerleaders learn three pom routines, 38 sidelines, and four building cheers as well as several half time routines. This is a competative squad.
Dance Team
The Shadowlawn Cougar Dance Team was new at Shadowlawn
in 2003-2004. Tryouts are held at the end of the school year so practice
can start as soon as school starts in August. The dance team practices
after school throughout the week and performs at the basketball home games.
Mrs. Caldwell is the dance team sponsor.
