First of all, Half step is right in the respect of not saying names in his views. He did state his opinions which is his right. I also respect that he did wish the girls well in Fl. But now ekymama's comments on their focus and professionalism is "DEAD WRONG". She says she was there, if she was she sure missed very poor performances by other schools. Alot of teams really had bad days down there. Dropped mounts, tumbling into each other and they still advanced, the girls had a good showing, maybe not the best, but certainly good enough to move on. On the Competition Squad deal, this was started at try-outs, everybody knew what was going on from the start. The Competition Squad was put together, for one reason "ONLY", that was for the girls who wanted to compete, because some girls in years past didn't want to compete, but they wanted to cheer games. Yes, there was alot of girls that did quit early, for what reasons, it doesn't matter. Alot of people Have questioned Miss Sturgill and Mrs. Green about this. But they have worked with the girls that truly wanted to stay. These girls that are left have worked very hard. The girls that have left are very talented, too. But if they are not there to work with how can you blame the coach. Most of the young ladies that left where young. This is a different game in High School, because there are so many things to do other than cheerleading. So alot of talented kids get into other things, nobody fault just High School. Could JCHS have won with the other girls, only "God" could answer that. Maybe they would have done great or not. When Freshman come in they are at the bottom again, just like in 4th grade and as 7th Graders. When you come to High School Sports, you have to "PROVE" yourself "AGAIN", because others are sometimes jealous of the "NEW GIRL WITH TALENT COMING IN". I have been there with my Daughter, it was painful at times to see her go through that. But she stuck with it and overcame it. Before you are quick to "BLAST" a Coach or any Coach, find out the entire truth about the matter at hand, then either speak to the coach or advise your child accordingly.
