Scenes from a basketball game

While covering a boys varsity basketball game last night, I saw the following:

- A male cheerleader. Which is rare in high school's around this area. When I was back in junior high, my high school had a male cheerleader. He helped the competitive cheer team win a state championship his senior year. The downside of this story, he got made fun of at every game.

- The same male cheerleader as above, working on his dance moves in between the JV and Varsity game. It looked like he was getting ready to be a backup dancer in a music video.

- A male student from the home school dressed as the mascot, did a cartwheel and went straight down into the splits.

- Not to be outdone, the same male cheerleader noted above from the visiting school, did back flips on the court during the next timeout.

- To end it all, right after the male cheerleader did his back flips, a former female gymnist from the home school came down from the bleachers and did back flips down the entire baseline of the basketball court.

Who knows if Battle Back flip continued in the second half. I left the game at halftime.
