Last Year

I'm a senior cheerleader and this is my 10th year cheerleading. I feel like it's my entire life because I spend so much time doing things for it. I won't be cheering in college mainly because I can't tumble. I know I'll be devastated when it's over, but how can I deal with this? I'm thinking about trying to coach an All-Star squad or working in a gym. Any advice?

it is a sad time when you must give up something you have loved and spent alot of time doing. you may not miss it as much as you would think you would once its gone. coaching could be a good idea but would probubly also make you want to be a cheerleader again even more. gool luck and i hope youre life turns out well.

Thanks for the advice Bergil. I am thinking now that I probably won't miss it as bad as I thought I would. Our fans are absoloutely horrible to us....they could care less if we're there or not....so I'm really just fed up with all the dramatics and dynamics that go along with high school cheerleading. We don't get any respect at our school from anyone...that includes teachers, staff, coaches, and students. I love the sport, but I hate most of what goes along with it. I think I'd like to choreograph dances and routines. I do most of the routines that our squad does. I will just have to deal with it all one day at a time. I guess if the opportunity to coach or teach dance classes or gymnastics or something presents itself I'll have to deal with the issue then. But thanks for your help!

That's what I did. I got into coaching the youth teams. Wasn't quite the same, but it's fun passing on knowledge.

Well, you've reached the end of the path. It's your last year to cheer, so you should make the most of it. Give 110% effort all the time, even in practice. Let your love for the sport show through to your fellow cheerleaders so they'll be motivated to do their best. When it's all done, you can look back and see that you gave it everything you had. At this point, I advise you to go on and coach cheerleading and stay close to the younger cheerleaders who will make up the squad at your school once you're gone. Give them something to look up to and give them inspiration even when you're gone. Give the people at your school even more reasons to respect cheerleaders.

    • We played South Side this summer and it went into OT and we lost on a last second shot. I thought our girls handled their pressure as well as we have in a while and that is the reason I think we will have a really good ball handling team. South Gibson will have their hands full with Dyersburg and South Gibson has never beat South Side. Back to what I was saying South Gibson needs another ball handler especially if they have to play South Side in a do or die game and handle their pressure. As far as who wins our Region, it will be must see basketball for sure and like I said I like our team. I like your team as well. Huntingdon is loaded 5 in and 5 out and you got a great Junior High Team. Huntingdon Fans are going to have a whole lot of fun the next 5 or 6 years. Loretto is really good this year. I got to watch them in Brentwood. They got a Freshman Guard that can go. Going to be a fun year. 
    • After seeing Southside this summer I think they will be better than last season.  Seems that the big three Southside, South Gibson and Dyersburg will be the region favorites once again.  In 2A Gibson County is the favorite in that region with a toss up between Westview and Union City.  I think Memphis Business and Gibson Co will represent the west this season.  I think that Westviews run to glass house may end.
    • South Gibson better get ready to battle in the deep end because South Side and Dyersburg will be a challenge. They will have to beat Dyersburg in the District Finals to avoid South Side in the Region. South Gibson better find another guard that can handle pressure and score to take pressure off of Dunn. They need to learn to score to take it to another level. They scored 29 and only lost by 7 last year at state. As far as Westview and Union City, they will be pretty good but Gibson County might have the best ball handling team we have had in a while this year with four guards on the floor with 3 PG's. We have 3 seniors with tons of experience. I really love this team this year. Looks like Westview lost out to the girl from Florida to USJ. Unless something happens they will have 1 player back with meaningful minutes. I know they will be competitive for sure but they will have their hands full. 
    • South Gibson drags you to the deep end and makes you like it. Tough group that communicates and really seems to love competing.  Union City will be improved but don't know how they handle nights were Moss doesn't go off.  South Side is fast and athletic but I don't think they're as good as last year.  Westview girls will be better later in the season because they are depending on folks that haven't done it yet.  Westview may lose a district game but they'll be the 1 seed over UC.  South Gibson beats Dyersburg for that district. South Side runs Jackson again.
