People always judge and make fun of cheerleaders saying it’s not a real sport but cheerleaders practice just as hard as any other sport, go to competitions and compete to be the best and win number one. It is also considered to be one of the most dangerous high school sports. First cheerleaders practice and work just as hard as any other team.

The Stephanie Hess The lights are dim, there is only a minute left in the game. The team is exhausted, the fans are on the edge of their seats, but there is still hope.
