SALEM (WSLS 10) - Salem High School is getting recognition across the country for their football team and the fans that support them. U.S. Cellular's crew traveled throughout the city and interviewed coaches, students, alumni and fans of Salem High School and put together a video about what it's like to be at the stadium on game day.

People know better than to sit behind the student section at Salem High School football games. Not only are they excellently organized with seniors in the front and freshmen in the back, they stand, make noise, shoot silly string and use instruments to make even more noise. The Salem Super Fans have a long tradition of cheering on their team, and the tradition was immortalized in a documentary video as part of U.S. Cellular's "A Season of Tradition" program.
"We are a tight-knit community here in Salem, and we love coming together for our team on Friday nights," said Scott Habeeb, principal at Salem High School. "I am excited to see how this documentary inspires our players, students, faculty and city to rally around and support each other not only through athletics, but in everyday life."
There is now a new banner for the "Salem Super Fans".
High school football programs in Wisconsin and Oklahoma are also being featured in documentaries as part of the program.
