Thank you…..Kinda
I would like to thank the Littleton Courier for recognizing the LHS Varsity Cheerleaders for their fourth straight State Championship in Div IV of the NHIAA. The picture on page B3 was nice with all the girls and coaches names.
The part that has me concerned is that this recognition is not very timely. The state competition was on March 11th, the photo appeared in the March 28th issue. I just feel that an accomplishment such as this as deserving of the same coverage extended to the other local state championship winning teams. These girls work extremely hard practicing more than the other winter sport teams. This year they started on Nov 15th practicing 6 days a week for a minimum of 2 hours and most of the time for 3 hours. This seasons last practice was on March 16th , that’s four months of practice.
I would never ask to not recognize the LHS girls for their championship or the boys for their runner up finish this year. They worked very hard and deserve all the accolades that came their way. I only ask for equal time for these girls.
As a member of the Crusader Pride Booster Club, we work very hard to provide unbiased support for all Littleton High School athletic teams; I guess I hope for the same from my ‘local’ newspaper.

Unfortunately there was no mention of the girls very respectable third place finish at the New England Regional Championships on March 17th. Great Job girls we are all very proud of you!
