raider nation!!!

the night of the fair was also raider nation's 2nd home game and happened to be the first football game that i remembered to bring my camera to.

the girls were doing a fundraiser for the military so they each had marine's t-shirts on instead of their cheer tops.

every time the raiders get a touchdown, the cheerleaders do as many push-ups as their score is.

sadly, they don't have to do many push-ups.

BUT, this game they did!

l-town actually won!!!

they even got one more touchdown after i took this picture!

it was pretty awesome. 

cuuuuute!

can you spy my lexi-lu?

she's at the middle top.

leonardtown high school got a new principal this year and she's pretty rad.

her first message home, she was so enthusiastic and she started the message by saying "this is the new principal of the RAIDER NATION!!!" and it's really stuck. at first it was just making fun (for me at least) but i think it's cute now. and at the game they chant stuff about raider nation. i love that she's so big on school spirit and involvement! she's been at every game, decked out in all her raider gear. she's given me the drive to finally make my "cheer mom" t-shirt that i've wanted to make for a few years now. even though lexi swears she'll die. i'm doing it!

aaand one cheer video, for good measure.
