I promise I haven't forgotten you. Here is an excerpt from a message I posted yesterday on the Plus Boards:

 

Most of the changes happen when iamoz and I look at something we would like to do and realize we can't do it with the system, or hardware, or whatever that we currently use. Usually we decide that the benefits aren't worth what we would be giving up in order to gain those benefits. But, this time, we felt it was necessary. For example, these boards will allow me, late this summer, to set up some private boards for different groups of fans. I have wanted to put in a cheerleader board for awhile but do not want it open to anyone who wants to make comments about cheerleaders. I already know where those conversations would lead. I will be able to do that soon, as one example.

I think that if u made a cheerleading board it would have to be private. just because some people would ruin it for everyone. That just shows you how childish people can get

Okay, I just want to know, and I am not trying to be a smart aleck here, but what on earth would people talk about on a cheerleading board? I honestly cannot figure that one out! They aren't in competition with each other, at least I don't think so (shows how much I know!) Just please enlighten me because I really want to know. And, maybe you are right, maybe it would need to be private. Thanks. :unsure:

Well JustWrestle they are in competition with each other at times. My daughter is a cheerleader and they have summer camp. There they compete with each other at different things. Also through the year there are competitions where squads from different schools compete against each other. Well robjim I don't know what you know about cheerleading. ;) Guess you want to see if they post any pics huh? :unsure: Yeah coacht will have to get someone to mod the board that will keep it straight and knows something about cheerleading. Like robjim? NOT! :D

The Cheerleaders compete at the national level. I think they do things that are dangerous, like stacking three high on a hardwood gym floor. I know there are some restrictions and College restrictions are a little less strenuous. The backflips the length of the floor are neat. They could be timed on that. It's about 94 feet baseline to baseline. :unsure:

Thanks for all that info. I do agree that they are definitely athletes! I watch in amazement how they do the stuff that they do. I just never heard of any local competitions between the schools - I have heard of competitions when they go to cheering camp, etc., but not during the year, really.

And oh yea, we do need to watch out for the moderator - especially Robjim! :unsure:

TSSAA has a state competition for building squads ( that do partner stunts) an non-building squads (who do not build stunts and pyramids. Competitions are held at camp as well as at the national level. Squads are judged on synchronization, creativity, crowd appeal, levels of difficulty (stunts and tumbling vary in their degrees of difficulty, much like gymnastics, ) and visual aids (signs and such.) They must perform the routine in a certain area- points are counted off for going out of bounds, wobbling on stunts or dropping girls out of them, being out of synch with your squad, etc, etc... Cheerleaders are athletes. Cheering for a football game is comparable to doing high impact aerobics for the same amount of time on one's heart rate. Hope this helps :D

    • Couple of thoughts: 1.  I just don't understand all the intricacies in TSSAA transfer rules anymore.    William Blount had a kid that played the final part of the basketball season with them this year,  that played at Hardin Valley last year, and played football for Bearden this year.  I say that to say, I know the coaches and the AD and the Principal at WB and I will never believe they would do something they knew was wrong.  They are men of character.  I BELIEVE the same thing about the coaches and administration at Maryville.  Call me gullible, but these are men and women of integrity in my experiences with them. 2.  Much like the transfer of the Clemmer kid a couple of years ago, with Smith, the football team is getting a huge boost, but the impact on the basketball team will be just as great or maybe even greater.  With Smith playing post, it frees the Sigmund kid who will be coming back from injury, to play more with his face to the basket.  The Rebels basketball squad in my mind, will be "the program" in East Tennessee next year.
    • Could not agree more. After this year, McKenzie's new coach will have their work cut out for them. Staying in 1A would definitely be a huge plus. Most years there is not much difference in the top 5- 1A and 2A teams across the state, but after the top 5 or so there is normally a huge drop off for 1A. Regular season region play is a lot easier for 1A in West TN  right now.
    • Word is Jason Maxwell will be new AD - he is currently head baseball coach. Also heard Roc might be headed to Pope as an assistant coach.
    • you must not know how tssaa operates lol 
    • I agree. A lot more people are starting to see what is really going on around here and how a certain few board members are abusing their power. Eyes are starting to open.
