...team’s latest trip down to Florida, legendary Mississippi State coach Ron Polk—now an assistant with UAB—took notice of O’Hara’s nifty glove...
...Turley charged last week that prosecutors had "negotiated in bad faith," adding, "It's the type of behavior that doesn't just shock the conscience of a court. It makes it impossible for defense attorneys and prosecutors to work." Kromberg insisted there were no ethical lapses and said Florida prosecutors didn't care "a whit" about what was going on in Virginia, which appeared to contradict his earlier statement that the Florida prosecutors didn't want their Virginia colleagues to subpoena al-Arian.

Yet, this amazing accomplishment soon became overshadowed with the costs of the expedition, totaling a whopping $16,000 for entrance fees, travel expenses and lodging. Between practices, two-a-week basketball games, and fundraising to account for the hefty costs, the time commitment to cheerleading began to look like that of a varsity athlete...
