In 2006, Matt and I went to TN one weekend and managed to go to my high school for a football game! North Greene is the smallest of four county high schools in my home county (Greene County) and is not known for it's football team. :)
Little known fact: I was a cheerleader during my senior year of high school. I was recruited by my Chemistry teacher. :)
My sister-in-law, Kristie and I both joined our senior year and we went to cheerleading camp during the summer before. We learned dances, cheers, and every morning we did these silly little marches and chants to help us wake up.
During our senior year, our football team won 2 games. TWO. That's it. It's hard to be a cheerleader for a team that rarely wins.
But we cheerleaders were there to cheer on our guys and entertain the crowd. So, we started doing some of those silly marches and chants as crowd entertainment.
My favorite was 'Baby Shark' but there were some other good ones, too like "Let me see your Boogaloo" and "Boom chicka Boom."
I went off to college and did not make it back to a football game at North Greene for a while. But in 2006 - I went and was SHOCKED to see the cheerleaders invite the crowd to join them for "Let me see your Boogaloo!"
I have a legacy!!!!
My niece hopped up and joined them and was so super cute. She was just shy of 4 years old in this picture.
I sat in awe that something that I had been a part of starting 11 years previously (I graduated in 1995) was still alive and strong. That's kind of cool.
