[/QUOTE]You obviously wasn't at this game...or didn't see this incident. I WATCHED 'the above mentioned girl' finish tumbling, stop, stand and move back and forth, SO Abby would tumble into her-SHE NEVER TOOK HER EYES OFF ABBY! I can assure you that if anyone (not saying that someone on ER's squad wouldn't do it...cuz I dunno) but if anyone was going to do this on purpose, it WOULD NOT have been Abby Runyon!! The look on her face, was an "OMG" look!! This whole thing between the squads actually started last year....ER's tumbling is just stronger this year, our girls are more confident, and frankly their tired of it!
Let me finish by saying that 'the above mentioned girl' IS NOT a 'mean girl'--actually just opposite, I've met her, and off the gym floor she is pretty cool. I agree that she was showing spirit and pride....but there is a line that can be crossed...and she has been crossing it for a long time! I remember her cheering in Jr high, and she has always tumbled down until she was right on top of the visiting cheerleaders. [QUOTE]

No... sure I wasn't at any of the Valley/ER games last year, I just was cheering on the floor the entire time. And if you think that "the above mentioned girl" was the only one tumbling all the way down the floor last year you apparently weren't paying attention, because I assure you that ER cheerleaders, the very few that could anyway, done the same. Thats fine though, say whatever you want to pretend ER cheerleaders were perfect angels, yet I remember tumbling last year and having the words "B*tch", and "Slut*, yelled at not just me, but all of Valley Cheerleaders, while they also would tumble all the way down to our side and yell rude comments to us. The simple fact is Shelby Valley's cheerleaders made East Ridge's look pretty bad. Not that ER cheerleaders can't tumble... Lakan done her full several times that night which takes a lot of talent, but over all, East Ridge cheerleaders can be by far the rudest ones in th 15th. And I'm not saying that as a fan that just sits in the crowd watching and thinking I know everything going on. I'm saying that from personal experience.

And so what if Sara done that last year, ER cheerleaders done the same. But I don't think 15 years from now I'll be thinking, "I think its horrible how rude ER cheerleaders were. I would never be friends with anyone of those girls." I'll be thinking, "I used to love it when we would play ER. That was some of the funnest times in high school."
