Attleboro Cheer Team Competes in Nationals

This is the first Pop Warner squad, football or cheerleading, to compete for a national title.

Attleboro Pop Warner's B Team cheerleaders are in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. (outside Orlando) this week to compete for a national title. The team qualified for the national competition by winning the New England Qualifiers and placing second in the regional contest.

"They worked really hard since August," wrote head coach Cindy Lincoln Fraielli in a message on Attleboro Patch's Facebook page. "They are the first squad (football or cheer) in APW history to make it to Nationals. It's a Bad News Bears story."

The Attleboro team will perform Wednesday. People can view the competition online through ESPN for a charge. Go here for more information.
