LINDALE — A cheerleading competition has a group of Lindale Independent School District students cheering their way to the top in a virtual cheerleading contest. According to our news partner KETK, The Pathfinders Club at LISD is participating as part of the Special Olympics Texas’ Winter Games. Team members have spent the last several weeks perfecting a cheer sent to them by the Special Olympics. Videos, both as a group and as individuals, have been sent in to be critiqued by judges. The evaluation includes hitting cheer poses, how loud they yelled and how well they have memorized the chant. Results will be announced April 17.
