The past 2 seasons the Pony Express have had to stand in the tunnel waiting for the offense to move the ball past midfield before they would have a chance to dance. This season one of the corners past the endzone has been set aside so they can cheer and dance for the fans all game long.

You may remember Ryan from last season. She danced for the Pioneers a decade after she was a Miami Dolphins Cheerleader. Ryan had a seizure and can’t drive for 6 months. Since she lives 45 minutes from the Pony Express’s dance studio, she had to move from the Dance Team to the Promo Squad.
