I don't think an injury to a cheerleader is any different than an injury to a spectator in the stands. The home school has a responsibility to either care for any injury or call someone who can care for the patient (EMS). One could say that the officials have an ethical duty to help, if needed, even if that help is only instructing the home team management to call 911. Certainly as an official you should not get directly involved in the medical care of the patient unless you have some knowledge or training in that area (such as also being an EMT or Paramedic).
By the way, I am a physician specializing in Emergency Medicine and suggestions should NOT be construed as medical advice...this is the legal disclaimer :-)
