Following her cheerleading team's perfor mance at the College Cheerleading National Championships last weekend, coach Gooch expects a flood of phone calls from former Knight cheerlea.ders. "They're going to die," Gooch said. "People who used to cheer here call me from all over and leave messages. In cheerleading circles, we are it." Gooch, who has coached the Golden Knights' cheerleaders for 15 years, guided the Knights to a third place finish in their fifth year at the CCNC.
