“You can hear a pin drop in here!” shouted Mr. Corrente
testing the energy of Central Cambria Middle School and High School students
this past Friday during the first pep rally of football season. The Red Devil
pride rose to the surface in a wave through the auditorium as Central Cambria’s
very own mascot amped up the volume and energy of the space. A competitive
banter between Middle School chants of “We are,” and High School lung-bursting
screams of “CC!” fueled the football team for their game against Somerset that
evening, while the cheerleaders impressed the crowds with their stunts. The
Marching Band, led by Mrs. Kokus, did not disappoint, playing Central Cambria’s
favorite song, Jungle Beat, as students danced in the bleachers and a select
few representatives competed in some short games. The pep rally sound level
dropped a few notches as students and teachers alike took an opportunity to
honor Central Cambria senior football players who are ready for a successful
season of their final year. The senior players gathered together quietly as the
Alma Mater tune, “The Palisades,” played, a moment of nostalgia not only for
the players but others who will soon be Central Cambria graduates. Once again,
Central Cambria has re-opened its doors for another school year, kicking things
off with what is a strong, and sometimes loud, sense of support, community, and
respect. Go Devils!
