One wrestlerette said this specialized cheerleading was different than cheering for football or basketball games. lt's a totally different sport - an exciting sport. The crowd and other cheerleaders are real spirited, and that's a big help to us. Sponsor was Janet Cable. In the fall Classic Cougar Kits - flag team - performed with the marching band at all home football half-times.
