Harsh, but kinda true.. in 1995 when i granduated high school we had one heavy cheerleader, we also had three heavy basketball players.. my graduating class had a totall of 70(ish) kids. If your parents had $$$ or you had the right last name.. nothing else mattered.. small town life !
With that said i will admit our heavy cheerleader had no problem keeping up with the thinner girls, she could cheer just as well and was good.. she also had a heavy but popular jock boyfriend.. they both had parents with money.
