It didn’t even take a split second for Fenton sophomore Sarah Cox to decide whether she would join Alma College’s cheer team. She has been a cheerleader all her life, she says.
“I like performing in front of a crowd,” she says. “I’m not normally a loud person, but you can really be as loud and enthusiastic as you want while cheering. At Alma, we have a really great, supportive group, and Coach Sabourin is so enthusiastic.”
