V1.5-ig , S SPORTS - THIS IS THE ARENA IN WHICH MUSCLES STRAIN AND -,sts r PERSPIRATION FLOWS. THE ATHLETE, HOWEVER, DOES NOT OPERATE ALONE. THE CHEERLEADERS , TALONETTES , PURPLE PRIDE, AND MANY AVID FANS PLAY JUST AS IMPORTANT A PART IN BOTH THE VICTORIES AND THE DEFEATS. TINA GREEN, DEE CARROLL, AND JERRY IULIANO TELL HOW THEY CONTRIBUTE TO THE ATHLETIC EXPERIENCE.

JERRY JULIANO: I think Purple Pride is great for the students involved, in that they can back their team and support the school athletic program without really being in athletics.
