“LET’S GET A LITTLE BIT ROWDY, R-O-W-D-Y!” is a common chant heard at Cleveland High School sporting events. Students yell at the top of their lungs to show support for Cleveland and to distract opponents. The energetic student section piqued the Clarion’s interest to discover the student body’s favorite sports chants, so we surveyed 260 students and found the top 10. We have also added a description of how to chant the favorites for the next time you are attending an event.
