Cheerleader of the Week: Shannon

Meet Shannon of the Carolina Panther TopCats who used to be terrified of spiders but now loves nature and has a fascination with strange critters.

My celebrity crush is Robert Downey Jr. Why? He's the sexiest bad boy in Hollywood, swashbuckling, ruggedly handsome and a captivating actor.

Shannon's favorite app is Instagram because she enjoys sharing pictures about things she's passionate about - like her daughter and dance.

Her worst date??? "Oh dear! When I was in high school a guy thought he'd be suave and have his friend drive us around downtown while he tried to seduce me in the back seat. Whoa! He picked the wrong girl. Bye, bye!"
