Leading the Charge (Or Cheer)

by Geoff Peckham 5/10/2009

Among the 24 cheerleaders who have been in the Bahamas this week, Abbie M. has a special distinction. During the 2008 season, Abbie was featured on ESPN’s Bill Simmons’ column as the ‘Cheerleader of the Week.’ The small honor has made Abbie one of the more popular girls on the team. But Abbie isn’t concerned with that. For her, it’s all about the team.
