I'm not gonna be able to cheer. Does this mean we won? If you don't have a backup, you're going to have to forfeit to the Tigers. How much time do I have? Just under 2 minutes. Two minutes, what am I going to do? To do Alexis, I'd rather forfeit. We don't have a substitute. I might, hold on. I know that girl from gymnastics, she can do it. [Narrator] Alexis sees a familiar face in the crowd and wonders if she could substitute. Turns out I have a substitute after all. What? I thought she went to Tiger High. No, she's a rebel now. Well. You beat the deadline by 8 seconds. Hold on... Replacement Aaron Ahern will now perform as a substitute for the rebels. Can she deliver the perfect score and bring home the championship for the rebel team. (Flashback) You're too small to be on our squad.

and the state championship! Performing first in round one for the Tigers. Welcome Kylie Langford. Ready OK? Tigers are here to say our team is here to stay. Woo Hoo. And let's see how our judge scores this for Kylie. It's an 8! And the final competitor for the Rebels in round one is Olivia Buchanan. We are the rebels, and we're here to stay. We are the rebels 'cause we do it our way. Just like in practice you can do it. Yes, you got it. And the Judge's score for for Olivia is a 7. So first round goes to Kylie Langford and the Tigers. Now, it's on to round two. Representing the Tigers is Rachel Song. Tigers Tigers were the best, Tigers put you to the test. Whooo And the Judge gives Rachel a score of six. Now the final competitor in round two for the rebels is Julie Hanover. Come on Julie, you got it girl.

Rebels, rebels got a plan. If they can't do it, no one can. And the judge gives Julie a score of seven. That means the rebels take round two. This competition's all tied up, and whatever competitor can win round three wins the championship for their team. That's right. All the marbles, the trophy, bragging rights, until next year! And the first competitor for the exciting round three is the Tigers Captain, Michaela Wilson. Go Michaela. That's our Captain, yes she is. Ready... OK Tigers are number one. We bring the heat, we get it done. So the judges score for Michaela. And the Tigers is a nine. Oh my goodness! The rebels are now gonna need a perfect score in round three to win the championship and the trophy. Hold on! Looks like the final competitor for the Rebels, Alexis Gould, is injured. Gasp Ooh No. How are you doing? Are you able to compete?

Please go away and don't come back. You'll never be a cheerleader. Come on, you can do this. Rebels are the team for me. They top the heat. They are the cream. R-E-B-E-L-S, Rebels. They are the best. Go Rebels. What will the judges' score be? There's a lot of tension in this big room right now. Here's the score. Aaron gets a perfect 10. Never seen before. The crowd goes crazy. The Rebels win the championship. Due to their surprise last-minute substitution. What? That can't be! [Narrator] Michaela dismissed Erin because of her height. It's important in life not to judge people based on their physical appearance. If you like this video, leave a comment and be sure to subscribe to see all of our newest videos. See you next time.

Erin Ahern, you're up. Uh, what is going on here? I'm sorry. You're too small to be on our squad. How could anyone even see you from the sidelines? Do you have cheer or dance experience? No, I... I hello, I can't even hear you. Do you know what cheer is? What? Yes. Did you learn the routine for the tryout? Yes. No, don't bother. You're wasting our time. You know we could use some smaller girls. Maybe we should at least let her do the routine. Also, Terry told me she's really smart and we need help with our grades to stay on the squad. No. There's going to be plenty of other girls, we'll find someone. Please go away. And don't come back. You'll never be a cheerleader. I can't believe her. How can I be too small to be a cheerleader? Isn't that a good thing?

It's a dream come true. Well, it's next Saturday. If you want to come, we'd love to have you there for support. Maybe we can all hang out together. Yeah, I know we might be busy. I'm not sure if I can let me think about it. I mean, this is what you love honey, why wouldn't you go? I know, but I'm still really hurt that I didn't make the squad. It was wrong with Michaela to make fun of me for my size. Erin that may be true, but you're a bigger person than that. The team needs you. You think so? Of course, they have no idea what they're missing out on. Maybe you're right. Welcome to the state. Cheerleader championships it's down to only two teams, the Rebels and the Tigers. The way the Championships work is there are three rounds. Whichever team wins two out of the three rounds wins everything, a huge trophy,

Wait, I'll do it for the good of the team. Oh my gosh, that would be amazing. Thank you. Wait, so women haven't always had the right to vote. No, it's only been 100 years since that happened. I didn't realize that either. That's crazy. Maybe I should write my term paper on this Elizabeth Cady Stanton lady. I need help with this quadratic equation thing. How does it work again? You just follow the order of operations. Remember? Oh gosh, this is so complicated. I don't know how I'm going to learn all of this before state. I'm so excited about it. I can barely study. Do you think we're gonna win? Obviously, it's going to be so much fun. Whoops. Sorry, Aaron. I guess we shouldn't have brought that up. She's fine. She knows why she didn't make the team. Don't worry. I'd be excited if I were you guys too.

I just can't stand being judged like that. [Narrator] Michaela judges Erin based on her looks without ever giving her a chance. She doesn't realize the talent she's missing out on. What do you want? Hey, sorry about tryouts yesterday. It wasn't right the way Michaela treated you. Then why didn't you do something about it if it was so wrong? We tried, but she already had her mind made up. Yeah, well, there's nothing you can do about it now. Squad's already picked. Here's the thing, we have to keep a B average to stay on the squad, and some of us are doing that hot. So? We heard you're really smart and we need a tutor. Wow, that's bold. You want me to tutor you after treating me like that? I mean, I get it if you want to say no. Never mind, this is a dumb idea, let's go. You're a bigger person than that, Erin.
