Episode Summary
When Ally interviews Dez on his dream of being a cheerleader for the Marino Manatees for the school paper, it is then that Trish and Austin learn that it is Spirit Week at Marino High. Due to this new knowledge, natural talent and some persuasion, Austin decides to join the basketball team; Trish is also inspired after learning that the student showing the most spirit gets one thousand dollars.
Trish and Ally show up to the basketball team's practice; Ally shows up for an article while Trish shows up to do her new job as the helper. Then the cheerleading squad has try-outs; Dez and Chuck both try out, and both make it onto the team.
After getting onto the team, Kimmy informs Dez and Chuck that it is between them for the position of yell king. Meanwhile, a game comes up, and Jimmy comes into Sonic Boom to inform Team Austin that he has invited the manager of the Heat to come to the concert that Trish arranged to delude everyone into believing that she had plenty of school spirit.
Dez asks Jimmy to come earlier so that he can watch Austin play basketball and Dez cheerlead; after hearing this, Jimmy tells Austin to quit. He cannot risk having Austin get injured by playing--since he has spent and invested a lot of money in Austin, who is a singer and dancer--but after Ally tells him to continue to play, he sticks with the team.
However, during the ending of the game, Austin injures himself, which places the team in a bit of a dilemma to make sure that Jimmy does not notice his injury. The end result is that Austin performs Living In The Moment with wires on, so that he can dance and the pressure is relieved off of his knee.
In the end, Austin quits the team, Ally's article gets on the front page, Trish ends up winning a thousand dollars in the form of Manatee Dollars and Dez loses the position of yell king to Chuck, which is a good thing since the yell king had to do it half-time was getshot out of a cannon. Austin was also invited to perform half-time at a Miami Heat game.

Kimmy: Easy boys, I know you're both tough. |
Trish: Guess who made cookies for the basketball team? |
Ally: Now's the time when we're supposed to be having fun, playing sports, taking risks. |
Chuck: Oh yeah? My cheers are so loud, I get noise complaints. From dead people. |
Austin: Look, it's not your fault. I made the decision to play basketball, and I just have to be honest with Jimmy about my knee. |
Trish (unenthusiastic): Yippee, School, Rah-Rah-Rah. |
