Buffalo Pro Cheer Photos of The Week

Eileen, Omarlla, Ayeshia, and Katie K at Training Camp 2009
This week, we take a look back at a lady who spent an incredible 11 seasons with the Jills. Of course I'm talking about Eileen, who spent 2000-10 on the sidelines of Ralph Wilson Stadium, the last 2 seasons as a captain after first getting named co-captain in 2006, the season after she got named to the Pro Bowl. She then followed that season with a trip to Iraq with 7 other Buffalo Jills to visit the troops. Then in August of 2007, she led another group of 8 Jills to Afghanistan and spent some time visiting the troops in the Balkans as well. Her favorite part of being a Jill was probably the time the squad spends with the Jr Jills...she absolutely loved getting to give the next generation of cheerleaders encouragement and helping them learn different routines and cheers.

Stephanie G and Carissa at Bandits-Swarm Game
From the Bandettes comes a photo from the Bandits-Swarm game held on St Patrick's Day this year when the players and the Bandettes all wore green to celebrate the holiday. Bandits jerseys were auctioned off after the game for charity. Prior to the game, Lauren B's line greeted fans as they came through the gates while Kirsten's line was at the top of the escalators going up to the 100 level. Shown seated are 3rd year vet Stephanie G and rookie Carissa. Sadly, this was Stephanie's last year as she's moving to the Big Apple for work in the coming months. We can only hope the stunning Carissa is a mainstay with the Bandettes for the next several years.
