Chan the Man is now Chan the Cheerleading Man

To carry on that great school spirit tradition, Chandler Blake Stone called this morning to inform Sabrina and I that he made the Cheerleading team at BYU. Yes believe it or not, Chandler's leaping and flipping ability has brought him a great opportunity to cheer for the Cougars.

Evidently there were 20 other men that tried out and Chandler was one of the 3 men chosen. The other 2 were 21 and 24 years old. Chandler was the only Freshman who made the team! Is it possible that the cheerleading judges knew that Chandler's Great Uncle was the one and only legendary Doug Stone... Head Male Cheerleader at BYU in 1955? Or is it possible that they had heard that he was the son of "Dave the Wave" from the 1986 season and was now attending BYU?

Let's see... Chandler's thoughts on why he tried out for the Cheerleading team.
1. Great seats at all of BYU's sporting events.
2. Lots of FREE BYU apparel.
3. I get to work out and get school credit.
4. If I get on the A team, I could be eligable for a scholarship.
5. I get to hang out with lots of really cute girls.
6. Bottom line, sounds like a lot of fun.

The Stone Family tradition of great school spirit carries on with Chandler and the Cougs'!
Way to go "Dudie!"
Now let's see one of those flips!
