Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, January 24, 2016

While pyramids are known to be mute, cheerleading pyramids are another matter. The Icon posted this photo Sunday night.  

Check out the photo below this story of the "catch"

Above, the guys and gals who cheer for the ONU men's basketball team built a tall human pyramid during a timeout in the game.

Below, well, that's the catch.

Somehow, they all landed safely on the ground when the cheer ended. (Monty Siekerman photo)
