We also do “E-I-E-I-O” which is a chant and it gets the fans really hyped up…We have a lot of crowd engagement cheers that really get the crowd hyped too”…”We hang out at each other’s houses and also have practices and team bonding. We all bring food for friendsgiving and Thanksgiving and just get along really well too…”Some advice I want to give is to smile and just go for it and try out and have a lot of energy. Make sure you’re having fun and be really loud while you’re out there, just smile and get the crowd engaged!.”..”With the off-season, we have practice almost every day in the summer. We wake up at 9AM to lift weights. After lifting, we have an hour break and go to practice. Yes, Cheer is a sport!” -Bella and Gianna Strug (Munster HS Cheer)

“I think we were just trying to be aggressive and just play as aggressively as we could and show what we’re here to bring to the tournament. I think I was able to stay calm on offense and not turn over the ball a lot. I also thought I was pretty good on defense tonight” -Alex Myszak (Lake Central HS)
