I was very impressed at Kapos and have been very impressed with tumbling I have seen at games in the 15th region.

Most Impressive!

Johnson Central- they have the prettiest full in the region. I have actually seen this girl do a hand full hand full. They had the most tumbling variety in their routine at Kapos. When most people had a bunch of hand tucks.

Pike Central- I saw a couple of strong tumblers. One girl stood out above all
the rest.

Belfry- had some strong tumbling but there wasn't much variety it looked like everyone was doing the same thing. Some handspring tucks and few alternates.

Pikeville- had a full on each squad, but they looked like they were going to land on their heads. The rest of the squads were good tumblers, but again I didn't see much variety.

Sheldon Clark- They had a good looking full, I don't think technically it was quite as strong as Johnson Central's. They did have some other strong tumbling.

Again I was most impressed by Johnson Central because of their variety, I rewatched the competition on WPRG and they had about 4 hand layouts, 4 alternates, 2 girls did front walkover whip step-out layouts, 1 hand full, and I'm not sure but it looked like all 20 something girls did round-off tucks. They had some mistakes in their stunts, but I thought the variety of tumbling was great.

i'm friends with one of the pikeville girls that throws a full, and she is still recovering from knee surgery, so the fact that she is throwing her full and landing it is a great deal after surgery! i'm proud of pikeville, and they're the team who has the greatest chance of winning at state, IMO.
