BANGOR, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- You'd know a basketball mom when you see one: usually wearing a hand-painted tee shirt, branded with her kid's number, cheering the loudest and proudest from the stands.

They're a little bit like moms from the Lifetime reality show Dance Moms -- traveling with their kids and supporting them -- just no drama or cat fights.

Moms from Central and Southern Aroostook cheered on their daughters playing in the Class D games Monday morning.

"Never miss a game," said Tracie Grew, basketball mom from Central Aroostook.

The daughters appreciate the support.

"They follow us to every single game, I don't think they've missed a game this season and they're always supporting us no matter what," said Victoria McIntyre about her mom, Beth.

"They're our number one fans," said Tracie's daughter, Rachel Grew.
