Twin cheerleaders rib each other after big upset win
Earlier this week, the University of Evansville basketball team beat the top-ranked University of Kentucky Wildcats.It was the first time ever the Evansville basketball team beat a top 25 team. Nobody expected that to happen, especially twins who cheer for the competing teams.Chas and Alexis Welte are both from Newburgh, Indiana, which is on the border of Indiana and Kentucky.Chas is a cheerleader for the Kentucky Wildcats. His twin sister, Alexis, is on University of Evansville's cheer squad. Chas was on the sidelines during the game as his beloved big blue nation was beaten."Yesterday, when I texted him, I told him to tell the basketball team to be easy on our boys. He made a little joke and was like, 'Well, we're No. 1 in the nation.' I said, 'I know. Just tell them to go easy on us.' When I talked to him after, it was really funny. He said, 'Wow.' He called me, said, 'I am so proud of you guys. They did amazing.' He was very positive about the whole situation.""Yeah, I'd say she'll probably at least hang it over my head for the remainder of this basketball season. Luckily, she's not a sore-winner, but I mean, with something as epic as this game was, I can't imagine her not wanting to bring it up when I come home for Thanksgiving," Chas Welte said.In the split household, Alexis said their mom and dad were rooting for the Evansville Aces since they were the underdog, but admits they're Wildcat fans every other day.
