While the boys certainly did not have the skills to get a football scholarship to State, few mid-level high school boys do, Coach Apperson was impressed by all they did to try to make the team.
"I'm sorry I don't have a spot for either of you,
frankly even if I did, I'd be concerned you'd get hurt. I like you two, though,
you sure have what it takes to make it at State. Tell you what, let me talk to
the head of one of the new programs at State. I know there are a few slots
left.
Coach Apperson talked to the head of the new cheer program,
now offering full scholarships. He knew because it was new, the director was
having trouble getting enough girls and thought these two, too small for
football, just might be able to help out in the cheer program.
"Coach, I'm grateful for the heads up," Stephanie,
the director told him, "but we're going to be a women's only program to
meet Title 9 requirements."
"Oh, I know, Steph," Coach said. "See, the
thing is, I think those two will have no problem fitting into your program.
Just meet with them, you'll see what I mean."
Stephanie dis and realized within minutes Coach Apperson was
right, that with just a week or two of pre-season cheer camp preparation, the
two men's football recruits would easily fit into the women's cheer program.
For their part, the two boys were left with a simple choice.
Stay home and work on the farm or accept full scholarships to the women's cheer
program.
Judging by their graduation picture from cheer camp, looks
like they fit in very well.
