The Lady Heat Rays are a new independent professional cheer and dance team based in San Antonio, Texas. One of their most fun gigs is performing as the Goddesses dance team for the Stone Oak Gladiators.

The Gladiators have joined the South Texas Amateur Football League, and the Goddesses will be there to add excitement to the team’s home games. The STAF will begin their season in March 2011. In the mean time, Lady Heat Rays Directors Carissa Smith and Ashley Putney are keeping the team busy with performances and appearances in the community. They recently performed during a charity game between the Gladiators and another local team. The game raised funds for for the Pop Warner program.

“This was the first time that the Lady Heat Rays introduced cheerleader style stunting and cheering, to go along with their traditional dancing on the sidelines,” Carissa Smith said. “The girls looked great and we all had a blast.”

Some of the other events the Lady Heat Rays appeared at were the 117th Comal County Fair/Parade in New Braunfels, 37th Annual “Night In Ole Converse” parade in Converse, and the Alamo Heights Holiday Parade. The Gladiators will suit up against the Texas Mavericks on Saturday, Dec. 18 at Lil Cowboys Field. The Mavericks lost the STAF title game last year.
