"You get no respect in here!" Porsha, my co captain started off one of my favorite chants while the rest of the squad got into formation.

"We know you think you are the best."

"But CAU will put you to the test." The girls fell into two line as we prepared to stunt.

"Don't start no stuff won't be no stuff
Don't start no stuff won't be no stuff." I tossed my hair to the side sassily while looking the opposing team's captain in her eye.

"You don't want none!" We chanted one last time before we each went into a back handspring.

"Now step!" Denae, my mini me shouted before sticking a standing double tuck.

The energy from the crowd was electric tonight as we entered the last 8 minutes of the fourth quarter. We were currently up by a touchdown making the score 37-30, but Kennesaw State had heart and were giving our boys a hard time both offensively and defensively.

"We're almost there, don't burn out ladies!" I clasped my hands together before taking a swig from my water bottle, my attention now to the crowd.

It seemed as if the entire city came out tonight as the stands overflowed with black and red Panther gear.

"It's cold as hell." Denae rubbed against her arms as she slid into her sweatpants. It was the middle of fall which meant that as soon as night fell the temperature fell right along with it and tonight was no different.

"Aren't you from Brooklyn, shouldn't you be used to the cold?" I asked genuinely interested. Denae had been in Georgia for nearly three years and still complained whenever Fall came around.

"Girl I moved away for a reason, I didn't know it got cold in the Georgia." She ranted, her thick NY accent showing it's head.

"It's only 56, it could be worse." Porsha laughed in amusement.

"Only 56? Bitch it feels like 30! Goodbye, catch me at the concession stand, I'm out!" Denae stomped away, earning a chuckle from the both of us.

Since it was fourth quarter our main focus was keeping the crowd pumped, however that seemed to not be a problem as the boys had everyone on their feet cheering and stomping.

We had one game left until Homecoming, and this win tonight could be a determining factor in if we went to a bowl game or not.

"He is showing out tonight."

"Now you know he likes to put on a show. Besides it's his birthday, you can't tell him nothing tonight." I nodded before turning my attention back to the field seeing the boys had the ball in their possession.

"AND TOUCHDOWN by Sanders" the announcer yelled, causing an uproar throughout the stadium.

"Let's go girls!" I shouted as we each grabbed a flag and ran on to the field quickly as the band played the instrumental to T.I.'s 'Bring Em Out', something they did after every touchdown.
