I am considering not trying out for my high school's cheerleading team my senior year. I have been a member since I was a freshman. (I am a junior now) Does anyone know what would look better for college applications, a non-competitive high school team for four years, or three years high school plus one year more competitive All-Star squad? I am worried that it will look like I am a quitter if I do not stick to my high school squad for a full four years. What do you guys think? Thanks!

Well I am a Junior and I have been cheering on my high school squad since I was a freshman, I have been on an all-star squad for 6 years, and from seeing teammates graduating and going on to cheer in college I would have to say that the 2nd option would be your best bet. Either one I am sure would be very impressive, but with school cheering and allstar cheering experience that shows you have the traditional cheerleading skills like actual cheering, motions, spirit, etc. plus the competitive skills like tumbling, stunting, etc. That shows that you are a well rounded cheerleader and not strictly a sideline cheerleader or a cometition cheerleader. If you are planning on trying out for a Co-Ed squad in college I would definitely consider a Co-Ed Allstar squad as many colleges require you to have previous Co-Ed experience to try out and a lot of high schools don't have Co-Ed squads. Hope I have helped! :blink:

I am a senior cheerleader and totally know where you are coming from. When I was a junior I realized I wanted to cheer college but knew that my highschool squad wasnt enough. I started taking a tumbling class at an all-star gym to work on my full and was asked to cheer on their senior team. Soo, now I'm in my senior year and I am cheering on my highschool team and this all-star team. I like this way even though it can be stressful at times, but this way you don't feel like you are letting your highschool team down and you are still getting the experience you need. :P

      Worst thing SC could do is get rid of Dyer. I agree with everything said above.

      Jada Hart, Jasmine Bailey and Kaitlyn Patterson the first two being PG's are all good guards and can handle ball pressure and are good players. Raven Wells will be a good post. There were games this summer where any one of the one's I mentioned were in double figures. Gibson County will control TO's much better this year and they will press more and get back to playing faster. AA is down across the board. I have been all over watching ball. Alcoa jumped to AAA and Jackson County moved down. to A. No telling who wins it this year. I agree Union City, Westview and Gibson County will be a dogfight and must see basketball. Poster insuated that Gibson County has a mental block against Westview. Well give me Maddie Gray and we line up last year and they wouldn't have won a game. Let's see how Westview does this year. Their starting five last year had three transfers in it. Rogers from Obion, Trevathon from Greenfield and Gray from South Fulton. Looks like they swung and missed with the girl from Florida this year so let's see how they do playing with kids from Westview. Gibson County has a really good 7th grade class this year.I have done learned you play with what you got and work them hard and develop them and see what happens. Just keep battling and see what happens. I like our team this year. Very athletic. Every year is the same with injuries and can be catistrophic to any. I watched GC all summer long. South Side and GC was very evenly matched and was a classic war.We had some quality wins this summer. Beat Huntingdon, Henry County, Bowling Green, Liitle Rock Central as well as a couple other quality Kentucky Teams. Westview's talent pool may not be what it has been without transfers the next few.

      I think Gibson County is a top five team this next season but I do agree they will drop off a lot after this year.  Westview lost a ton and will be down this season and hopes of returning to glass house again is slim.  The run they have had is super impressive!

      My take on GC for this year: Based on what I saw last year and heard this summer, I’m not sure GC could surprise me next year with any outcome. Wilkins is a great coach - they could win the district and region and go to Murfreesboro. They could also come in third in the district and not get out of region. The two returning starters are very talented but Guru is right that they didn’t always play hard last year. The other three starters are good enough in their roles for GC to be successful. There is no depth. Foul trouble could be a problem - Wilkins may avoid it by playing a lot of zone. An injury would be catastrophic. I hope they have a big year and Wilkins rides off into the sunset in Murfreesboro because, without some significant transfers, there are some tough years coming in the next few.

      Daniel Boone coming down to 3A makes this much tougher. They added a couple transfers to the Flores girl. Cocke Co, Northview, Greeneville, and Daniel Boone - only two headed to Murfreesboro.
