--Cheerleading in Football & Basketball is far more different than that of Wrestling, as they are far away from the players in football and basketball they are usually on the end of the court out of the way, unlike in wrestling where they are matside screaming and pounding and yes it does get annoying, it's okay once in a while but enough is enough, or when they do a good job chant you get beat, that's the most aggrivating.

--Norton has a good cheersquad and it shows in their performances, but their dance team is about as good, but still a great spectacle to watch.

--Finally cheerleading is NOT a sport, never will be, and shouldn't even be considered. According to Title IX, the worst thing to happen to Wrestling ever, the KSHSAA doesn't recognize it as a sport, but rather an activity such as Scholar's Bowl (which i'm a part of), chess club, and debate. I don't care you can argue you do as much physical work as everyone else, and you get hurt too, blah blah blah, cheerleaders do have the highest injury rate among sports, but that's only because of the unathleticness of them, when they toss each other and drop each other, and the count a sprained ankle as an injury, how many football players/wrestlers do you see that sprain ankles, break fingers, sprain them and just keep playing so they can't use that. They do not have a defined "season of activity". I contacted the KSHSAA last year, and the NCAA front office about this last year as I did a debate about it in my AP English class, in which i won the debate in a class of 2 guys and 9 girls, i convinced them that cheerleading wasn't a sport, the KSHSAA and NCAA do not recognize it as a sport thus i do not as well, and many others share my view, those of you that don't should because i speak the truth about it not being a sport....Cheerleading is an ACTIVITY, not a SPORT like wrestling!
