Cheerleader Don
"Give me a B...an E...an A...an R...an S...what does that spell? BEARS!"
Don Traxler, retired education prof and former mayor, leads cheers at the basketball game on Saturday at King-Horn.
The Lady Bears are without cheerleaders, so Don took it upon himself to get the crowd vocally behind the local team during their Elite 8 game. He attends many athletic contests at ONU throughout the year. (Monty Siekerman photo)
