"It's so cool seeing everyone from the community come to watch us because we're usually so caught up in only the high school but there's so many more people than just the kids at our school so it made me really happy to see so many people cheering for us," Brown said.

"I mean (letting the cardinal fly) at first is nerve racking but after awhile it's fun to just let (it) fly," Meaders said. "It's fun to hear the parents cheer because it's a tradition to let it fly after every touchdown."

"I didn't really have the confidence that I could lead a section because it had been just me and Nicole for three years" Rusaw said. "But as the season has gone on, it has gotten a lot easier to help them and it's gotten more fun because we're like a small family who can have fun together but also get things done when needed."
