Well....this is my first post and I'm trying to still figure this thing out. I was not shocked by any of the winners, however, I am stunned that JC did not get runner-up in traditional. They were so much cleaner! The only downfall was their pom routine....PC did have a true "traditional" style pom routine with neat formations and making images with poms. While I only saw JC's cheer from the back, I do know that it was cleaner. Having judged competitions before, I seriously was shocked. But, I extend my congratulations where it is due....I'm only calling it like I saw it.

As far as Belfry vs. Magoffin, Belfry definitely deserved it and I liked how they used a different order to their 2-1/2 minute instead of the usual "music-cheer-music." However, Magoffin County is always very clean and had a great routine and I wonder how it would have turned out if they had a perfect routine. I commend them for upping their difficulty from last year as well....major improvement! Belfry's difficulty was much higher, with the double-downs and having four stunt groups.

It was nice to see Phelps back in the competition, and I hope they continue to do it every year. I think it would be awesome to get every squad in the region competing.

I have to give a shout to my SC Cardinals! You guys gave it all and did the best you could, and second is a win in my book. Just wait 'til next year :thumpsup: !

Bottomline.....if you want to make it to Richmond....avoid any squad from Pikeville! But they have to get beat eventually....I hope I'm around for the upset, but right now it looks like it may be MANY years:Cheerlead
