[cheergirl]

1. Johnson Central gave their cheerleaders a choice. The competition squad came about for those girls that want to cheer games, but didn't want to do competitions. They were also given a choice between Black and Gold or either. There is one coach for black, one for gold and they both coach the competition squad since the team is comprised of girls from both teams. Games were divided equally between the 2 squad. Both cheered football, boys basketball and girls basketball. Both cheered a bowl game,,,,,,one the apple bowl and one the touchstone energy bowl. The set up this year has been entirely fair to both teams.

2. Would a basketball coach in district play, substitute his best players in a tight game for 5 weaker players,,to ensure that all players got to play? Those players have worked hard all year, after all........GIVE ME A BREAK! HE or She would not jeopardize a win in district or region play so that all can play. That is how it is in sports. Is cheerleading a sport or not? Why not let the best compete in district competition when a trophy is involved???? That is what I consider "competition"

3. The competition squad might be judged during district, but that does not mean that the rest of cheerleaders can't cheer for their team in the stands.
Why are they cheering after all? Maybe we need to ask ourselves that.
