@@ForevaLaTrelle really I read it was multiple reasons and there is a follow up video other girls from her school become cheerleaders to so she wouldn't be alone
According to Daily Mail "A lot of girls on the team last year weren't able to do it this year for personal reasons or they just didn't want to" According to Boston "It was very last minute, we started season off with five people. One of them couldn't do it because of her grades last year so she was off the first day. So that left us with four Two and three couldn't because work, so that left me" Hope that helps
@@mychemicalromancewillpierc5241 it's kind of dumb that they have cheer scholarships, I like cheerleaders effort but they only get in the way and annoy people usually
Ya that’s very annoying that they didn’t tell the reason she was alone. I would have liked a reason because we had a small cheerleading squad my junior year in high school. We had a normal sized squad at the beginning of the year but then 1-3 girls at a time would come out that they were pregnant. So they would be kicked off the team. We had maybe like 5 cheerleaders left because of this. That’s why I watched this video.
@Keith Willis its unusual for there to be 1 cheerleader in these high school rituals.. Thats why there is a story about it... Was there a movement from the students to boycott cheerleading? Was this a move to try and get the school to fund their cheerleader team ?.. What happened, or is the community so small that they dont have the numbers? Or maybe the culture in maine dont care for those type of highschool events any more... Like kids and their lack of interest in prom now adays..
@@miniena7774 what do you mean? I'm not trying to be rude I just searched up the school name and saw the town the school is in. In 2010, the population was a t 6,000.
Kaitlyn Berthiaume was the only cheerleader to try out for the Messalonskee cheer team in Oakland, Maine 'A lot of the girls on the team last year weren't able to do it this year for personal reasons or they just didn't want to,' she said The teen is the team captain and is always in sync but misses the days of being able to do stunts Coaches Maila Couture and Annie help the lone star stretch and workout during practive They'll cheer extra loudly at games to lend Berthiaume vocal support
@Julian Shu haha well if you dig deeper into the story and research like i did then yes she should. Her athleticism combined with cheer spirit is more than good enough.
but you can get a scholarship for being left handed when your naturally born with it? There should be a scholarship for everything that’s cool. Which is being the only cheerleader on the squad.
Well with modern feminism in place, a sport to primarily cheer on a male team goes against their point so the sport of cheerleading is declining over time
@@catchingupwiththemoon9108 then why didnt any freshmen or sophmores try out? Its laziness in this world...shes the real mvp of the school idc what anyone says
Cheering staff should be ashamed. Allegedly all the cheerleaders from previous year graduated. Poor planning. And this video sucks without proper explanation or resolution even in the description.👎🏽
There's also different grades on the cheer team. They should have opened up the availability to more people and required the program to recruit more unless it gets shut down for the year. It's a drain otherwise.
NissanHyoryuLyfe damn, I was laughing so hard and didnt even think about you and so many others out there like you. I'm sorry, I'll work on being a better person. You're so brave
Because kids up here would rather party and do drugs. Rural maine is dying, fast. It has been slowly since Bill Clinton's TPP and NAFTA. All the mills shutdown, and everyone with money got out.
I assumed the rest of the team got kicked off for grades or something school policy related. No way a school big enough to have a football team would only have 1 person that wanted to be a cheerleader.
Havering Dokkan dont be mad cause you have to pay for your school. Lmao. I can almost guarantee she will get a scholarship. Her independence and passion to cheer by herself and cheer against other actual squads. Schools will see that and love it. Like it or not.
Besides, just because there is only one this year doesn’t mean there won’t be girls wanting to try out for next year’s squad. If they got rid of the program, no one would have the chance.
No, according to the whole article like a dozen girls auditioned but half didn't have good enough grades and the other half decided it was too much work.
Brian Waller Whoa dude calm down. If your wife asks you to sleep on the couch, and your perfectly fine with it, that doesn’t make you shrimp dear god...
"A young lady who's getting ready to fly" The team is called the EAGLES and you didn't use that as an opportunity to say "She's a young Eagle ready to soar," like come on Inside Edition you could've done better
One time inside edition reported on a kid with cancer who was getting lots of gifts and they decided to give him the movie mission impossible. It just so happens that he died the next day and inside edition had the great idea of using that as the perfect opportunity to make the joke : “but his fight against cancer *was* truly mission impossible” just wanted to share this random thing
Hydro Green ikr but my school uses google classroom so everyone gets credit whether they participate or not. we had a rlly big project in robotics and one girl just sat there doing nothing. i’m like we got a 95 and so did you but i did all the work
Since the video didn’t mention why she was the only one: 6 showed up to try out. Half were “academically ineligible” and the rest thought it was too much effort which left only her. (Source: centralmaine.com)
M Miller coach assigned last minute / no one thought there’d be a team : 5 others tried out but soon noticed they can’t do it bc of bad grades and work
For everyone who is watching this a year later because of RU-vid’s weird recommending algorithm, here’s the explanation! “Though Messalonskee’s cheering numbers were down a bit this fall, Berthiaume wasn’t the only person who showed up for the first day of preseason practices in August. A half-dozen girls tried out for the team - half of whom were academically ineligible and the other half of whom decided that it would require more effort than they’d hoped, according to Messalonskee’s first-year head coach Mila Couture.” www.centralmaine.com/2018/11/10/messalonskee-cheerleader-an-inspiration-to-others/
