“I always wanted to be a cheerleader, my Mom always dressed me up as an Alabama cheerleader on Saturdays.”
Allie Whitehouse
“I'm not a cheerleader. I'm not trying to pretend to be sweet and then come out and be bad. This is who I am.”
Willa Ford
“It was kind of a joke. Instead of the cheerleader and the lineman, it was the mascot and the lineman.”
Jessica Davis
“Where are the cheerleaders going? Did someone tell them that the game was over?”
Jim Casciano
“A lot of people don't think of cheerleaders as athletes, so this is an opportunity for the kids to find their niche with two of the best squads in the country.”
Wayne Thornton
“Having twenty-one cheerleaders on the squad is costly. We are not funded by the school. All of our money comes from the parents and fundraiser. Cutting the number would benefit us financially, especially of we offer a scholarship.”
Christy Harrell
“In some school they go by percentages, where all the cheerleaders with a certain (judging) percentage like 80 make the squad. In other cases, the schools go by a drop in the scores. If fifteen girls scored over 70 percent and then there was a big drop to 50 percent, the cut off point would be at 70 percent.”
