There’s been some recent controversy involving cheering in the stands during our Bulldogs’ home games.

I interviewed some people involved.

I also interviewed players on other teams in Alden to hear their opinions about the student section of the stands and how it affects them while they play.

“I think cheering makes me a better player because it makes me think about what I am going to do so I don’t embarrass myself,” said junior, Savanna Scheifla.

“Since I’ve been here we’ve had awesome fan support from the student body, from the community at large and we’re extremely grateful for that,” said Alden High School Principal Kevin Ryan. “We want our kids, as the pledge says that’s read every game, to be loud, be proud of our Alden Bulldogs.”
