Cheerleaders deserve more recognition

I was reading Thursday’s edition of the Bangor Daily News (Dec. 19) and noticed the basketball pullout. I didn’t see any cheerleaders!

They, too, practice every night for two hours and some weekends. They have double duty as they cheer both boys and girls games, and they have no subs if they are tired.

How about a photo once in a while of our girls? We are proud of them, too. I’m the proud mother of a Nokomis cheerleader.
