### Why High School Football and Dance Teams Deserve More Spotlight

Hey everyone,

If you’ve been keeping up with local high school sports news lately, you’ve probably noticed a ton of buzz around the Lakeridge vs. Sandy football game. And yeah, it was a big deal—Lakeridge pulled off a decisive 58-36 win, and the game previews, rosters, and post-game coverage were everywhere. But here’s what caught my eye: tucked between all those football headlines was something just as exciting—the Pacer Dance Team slideshow.

Let’s be real: football games get the glory. The Friday night lights, the roaring crowds, the intense plays—it’s electrifying. But what about the dance teams that bring energy, precision, and artistry to those same events? The Pacer Dance Team isn’t just filling time during halftime; they’re performing with the same level of dedication and school spirit as the athletes on the field.

It’s easy to overlook them when touchdowns and stats dominate the headlines, but dance teams put in countless hours of practice, often balancing academics, performances, and their own competitive seasons. They deserve recognition not as a side note, but as central contributors to the high school sports experience.

So yeah, shoutout to Lakeridge for the big win—but let’s also give it up for the Pacers who brought the rhythm, style, and flair that make high school games unforgettable. Here’s hoping future coverage gives equal love to both the players on the field and the dancers on the sidelines.

What do you think? Should dance teams get more spotlight at games and in sports media? Drop your thoughts below.

Stay tuned,
