Girls Just Wanna Have Fun: The Inland Empire 66ers Dance Team

Do they really?  Yes they do…at least from my experience.  The Inland Empire 66ers Dance Team have a lot of fun.  From what I’ve seen, Byron Marquez and the 66ers organization treat the girls very well and they do seem to be a fun loving group.  So when I visited them last Saturday to cover their auditions, I took the opportunity to snap a few posed photographs…and when the auditions were over, I snapped a few more inside the stadium…and they had a lot of fun.

So here are a few photos that didn’t make the audition article.

Vote for your favorite future Colts Cheerleader

The Indianapolis Colts solicited entries from young women wanted to be part of the 2013 Colts Cheerleaders. It looks like they got a great response, and they’ve opened it up for the public to vote on their favorites. I have no idea if this vote actually counts for something, but what the heck. Click here to check it out!

Here’s the leader board as of right this minute:

Lunch Lady wants to be NFL Cheerleader

WLTZ 38 News
January 27, 2013

WLTZ 38 | Columbus Georgia Regional News

By Nick LaGrange (WFIE)- “I’ve been wanting to be a Colts cheerleader for a long time”.

20-year-old Tella Toney currently works as a ‘lunch server’ at south ridge high school. But she’s hoping to become a colts cheerleader, through an online competition.

“I had to upload pictures on there of me, one for voting and then three to five for the judges to see, I guess.”

Tella says the judges will allow the top-ten vote-winners to audition to be a colts cheerleader in march. Right now, Tella leads the pack. She showed me how to get to the website, where to go, and I’ve been voting daily.

Oralee Cotton is the food service director at south ridge and she says the whole food service staff is excited for Tella. And Cotton and Tella both say the students here are especially interested in the competition and that some are very surprised to have a ‘lunch lady’ like Tella.

They’ve never had a lunch lady, as far as being this young, to do something that neat.

Toney says ‘audition training’ will begin next month and that the auditions will actually get underway in late March.

Former Chiefs Cheerleader Wins Second Straight MMA Fight

Rachel Wray, the former Kansas City Chiefs Cheerleader turned female MMA fighter won her second fight in the cage and is still undefeated. Wray, a beauty by way of Arkansas, beat Katelyn Radtka by a TKO in the second Friday night at the Ultimate Blue Corner Battles in Kansas City, Mo. She is 2-0 as an amateur just months after she started training as an MMA fighter. Wray won her first fight with a second round TKO over another opponent back in September after giving up cheerleading for leading with a left. The pretty blond (wearing blue shorts) looked a lot sharper in her second fight after being trained by UFC fighter Jason High and WEC veteran LC Davis. She sure has got skills. Wray’s looks and back story is what is gaining her quite a following but it is her right hand that is keeping her in the cage. She doesn’t have another fight scheduled yet but you can keep up with her at her Twitter account
