WAXAHACHIE - Surrounded by hopes, dreams and years of tradition, Kate Basinger
of Waxahachie, became one of the 36 newest members of the world-famous Kilgore
College Rangerettes dance and drill team. The announcement, made in a closed
ceremony in Dodson Auditorium on the Kilgore campus, culminates a week-long
tryout process that saw 107 hopefuls vying for a coveted position on the 71st
Rangerette line.
The new Rangerettes will join 35 sophomores to make a line of 71.
The Rangerettes were the first of their kind when they began in 1940 as a vision
of the late Gussie Nell Davis. The organization created a unique combination of
dance moves and precision drills that quickly earned them the reputation not
only as the originators of dance/drill teams, but as the best in the world.
Known for their high kicks and the jump splits, the organization has traveled
around the world and entertained millions.
