"Cheer Squad" The fog had rolled in and the community had shut down. It was Friday night in Vernonia. Tucked up in the top of the stands at the football field, the band made its way through the Star Spangled Banner. Then came a familiar chant, but from an unfamiliar source. "We are the Loggers, mighty mighty Loggers..." With student-athletes turning out for other activities, the school was left without a cheerleading squad for football. Yet, Friday nights in Vernonia still has it all - thanks to a group of 7-year-olds.
