Our squad did very well! I'm a senior and I have been so proud of my girls the past two games. We have 10 on the squad this year and four are new. We're adjusting very well and we all work well together. At our first game we did a dance and a stunt cheer that included a prep-pause with full down and a twist up to extention. Not our biggest or best but they were clean and looked really, really good. Better to do a clean stunt that sticks everytime and looks easy than a more difficult one that is shaky. (The goal is not to scare the crowd! ) The dance went very well, also. Last night, we did a straight motion cheer and a more difficult dance. I think the only think off at all was the formation of the dance. We got a little off center but we were rushing to get out there and get it done so that they could have some kind of game at half-time. All of our stunts have stuck during time outs and quarters; partly due to the fact that if our stunts aren't COMPLETELY stable, our coaches won't let us do them...which is for the best. We've down leap-frogs, a matrix, down-up libs with scorpions, straight up single bases, toe-touch baskets, twist ups, arabesques, reloads, backhandspring to prep-pauses, and much more. I am SO proud of my girls! We have all come a long way from since the summer. We are improving more and more each day. So, any of my girls reading this, thanks for all your hard work and commitment. It is that which makes us do as well as we're doing. Well done! How is everyone else doing?
