Three cheers for Meadowdale
If you’re going to a Meadowdale High School boys basketball game, watch the Lions’ cheerleaders during the national anthem. The cheerleaders sign the national anthem before every varsity game. It’s pretty cool to watch.
“We get a lot of positive comments,” said cheerleading coach Rellanda Hancock. “Some people have picked it up in Cincinnati. If you see a game in Cincinnati you might see one or two of those schools doing it.”
Hancock said former coach Jeanine Early, who taught special education, came up with the idea.
“She thought some of the people in the stands could be deaf,” Hancock said, “so she took it upon herself to teach the girls sign language for the national anthem.”
