I have changed some of our practices to accommodate traveling.  So, make sure you check the calendar often

BBB on the 7th and 8th

The games on Dec. 7th and 8th are at Richfield.  I don't have much info on them right now.  But, I will send you in stunt groups so you can stunt.  Also, if we decide to perform at the games, everyone will go both days.  Just a thought

Christmas Dance

The only home game we have in December is on the 15th.  We are going to perform a Christmas dance.  The song is Run, Run, Rudolph by Cello Green.  We will practice every morning the week of the 26th through the 29th of November to learn this dance.  These are mandatory.  If you miss you will not be in this performance.  The week after that, I will decide then if we need every day practices still.  (We probably will)

Wrestling hair

I won't make you wear your hair up for wrestling unless you are on the floor at region and state.  Other than that your hair can be down, sort of.  I want your bangs out of your eyes.  So, for now that is the rule.  Bangs up.  If you are still spending way to much time messing with your hair or it is always in your face, we will go to half up.  If that doesn't solve the problem, then we will go to hair up.  And as always, no jewelry!!!

Wrestling tourney and JV BBB plan

Tuesday there is a wrestling tourney and a BBB JV game.  The tourney is in the high school gym and the BBB game is at the middle school.  Mr. Elmer wants me to send some cheerleaders to the JV game.  Here is the plan.  We will be doing a flag ceremony at the tourney.  There will be someone singing the national anthem.  Then we cheer.  I will not be putting you in assigned spots for this.  If there becomes a problem, then I will.  I am helping run this tournament, so I will be of no help to you.  Captains need to sit in the middle.  Clap all cheers out and then do the actions.  If we have 2 boys wrestling at the same time, here are your assignments.
Mat 1:                                          Mat 2:
Loryn                                           Tasha
Amanda                                       Crystal
Morgan                                        Brennan
Brinlee                                          Tayy
Ronnie                                          Kiera

If there is only 1 boy wrestling, then everyone cheers.  When your mat finishes, go cheer at the match that is still going.  Now, captains, I expect you to lead with respect at all times.  This means that just because you are a captain does not mean you have the right to be bratty or mean to get people to do what you want them to do.  You get more bees with honey than vinegar!!  And while I am on this subject, I am not blind... I see those of you that roll your eyes at me or give me dirty looks when I change something or tell you to do something you don't want to do.  STOP IT!!!  It doesn't hurt my fillings, but it does make me loss respect for you!  And if  you keep it up, I don't feel bad about embarrassing you in public.

Now the problem of the JV game.  Mr. Elmer wants some of you to go.  Go cheer this game and as soon as it is done, come back up to the high school.  Leisa will have to get you there.  I will make arrangements with her for that.  So, let's send Loryn (to watch her bro), Kiera, Ronnie, Tayy, and Brennan. Mr. Elmer wanted me to send all JV cheerleaders, but, I think we need some experienced cheerleaders to help the others since this will be your first BBB game.

When these girls are gone, if there are 2 boys wrestling at the same time, just sit in between both mats and do generic cheers.  Make it work.  Hopefully they won't be gone that long.

Here we go again!!!

OK, basketball and wrestling season really get going this week.  Here are a few things I want you to keep in mind.
#1: Cheerleading is suppose to be fun.
       *No critisizing each other.  That is my job.
       *Do your best.
       *Have a good attitude at the events you are assigned. You are there, so you might as well make the best
         of it.
       *If you are doing your job, you shouldn't be looking at others to see what they are doing wrong.  You
         shouldn't have time.
#2: We are performers!
       *The second we start a game until it ends, you are performing.
       *Smile, people are constantly watching you
       *Do your job, don't spend so much time talking to the crowd and forget you are cheering for a team.
       *Don't be lazy.  Do a descent rally every time.
       *Some of you act like you are being tortured to be on the floor, STOP IT!!! This is what you signed up
         for, so put on a smile and perform full out.
       *If you are performing your best, you should be tired after you dance or stunt.
#3: Once the game starts, you do not leave it!
       *The only break you get once a game starts is during half time if there is any time after we perform.
         Rather than that, no drinks, no restroom, and no food.  You have a job to do, and we look lazy when
         there is always someone coming or going.
       *So plan food and drink breaks.  Go before the game, between the games, or at the end of the game.
#4: Whether you like the people on the team we are cheering for or not is irrelavent.  We cheer for all WHS
       teams.  Not each individual.  So, every team and every individual gets our best effort no matter what.
