"Please," she pleads in Auto-Tune. This lyric ran through my head repeatedly during the second season of "Cheer," Netflix's documentary series about the world of competitive college cheerleading.

Focusing on Navarro College, a community college in small-town central Texas that just so happens to have a 14-time national champion in its competitive cheer team, the Greg Whitely-directed series received an Emmy and international attention.

Most though not all of recent years Navarro has dominated in the category of Advanced Large Co-ed Junior College, bested only by their Texas rivals just up the road, Trinity Valley Community College.

In a smart narrative shift, Whitely centers a good portion of this season on Navarro's rivals, Trinity Valley Community College.

At Trinity Valley, we meet soaring tumbler/flyer Jada Wooten, growing into her role as a team leader; tumbler DeVonte "Dee" Joseph who does spins "the human eye can't recognize" ("Cool knows cool," nonchalant Joseph says about his team); and Angel Rice, a powerhouse tumbler compared to Simone Biles, an athlete a recruit calls "the Madonna of cheerleading."?

It's hard not to notice that Trinity Valley has more women of color on the team, that they train in an older-looking basketball court (and sometimes, a Baptist church), rather than the athletic center Navarro has access to. Aldama gets Navarro an actual performance stage built, a "band shell" that costs thousands of dollars (thanks, in part, to a $20,00 donation from the "Ellen Show")
