App State cheer is raising Mountaineer spirits on gameday in creative ways despite having to spend them outside of Kidd Brewer Stadium. Throughout September, select cheerleaders have participated during game day by appearing live on the video board remotely during one quarter of each game.
Head coach Morgan Roberson said she first got the idea to have the team cheer virtually when she saw the NBA’s virtual fans. Since there are 38 team members, she selects a few cheerleaders each game to participate on the video board. She encourages them to get outside if the weather permits, so they can get more of a game day feel as opposed to cheering inside.
