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.
