It seems that a lot of people on here are complaining about the youth of Pikeville's second cheerleading squad. First of all, Title IX(and the state) designated that the younger squad at Pikeville was good enough and competitive enough to be classified as a varsity squad. They cheer for the girls basketball team, home boys and girls junior high games. Second, how can people get on here and complain about a junior high squad beating varsity squads? Seems to me that some of you all need to quit complaining about situations that you know nothing about and work hard to upgrade your programs. They are required to compete at KAPOS by the local school administration. They do well to finish in the top five at KAPOS due to competing against the likes of Madison Central, Clark Co., Henderson Co., Dunbar and other varsity squads. They are the only junior high squad in the state that does this because the school has two competitive squads as designated by the Title IX folks in Lexington and they do usually have one to three Freshmen on the squad. It just happens that this year all of the Freshmen are on the Varsity squad. I can only remember one year over the last twenty, that the younger squad has had anybody other than Freshmen or below. And finally to you 57thscarlett, your above posts reminds me of ALICE IN WONDERLAND. If you think that KAPOS caters to Pikeville, then you have some serious issues. If you have issues with competitive experiences, then you need to get your local school to attend more competitions to get that experience. And finally, get better educated on the issues that you are complaining about.

first and foremost this thread was started to congratulate P-ville on the win @ nationals. It was a well deserved victory. So why all the bashing? I saw them compete at regionals and they were awesome. should do well @ Kapos this year as well.

Secondly, My only complaint with this thread is , If someones says Pikeville white did not preform well, then it's oh were just a junior high squad, on the other hand when they win , it's well were just a junior high squad, and were better than most high schools, So I guess it works both ways. BUT what people should remember is either way that squad is awesome, and works very hard, so why bash it at all. either you can compete with a junior high or you can't. Pikeville white is a Girls varsity Squad, and cheers almost 4 games a week, Girls varsity basketball, and the junior high boys, yet they fit competition practice into that as well, so why bash that kind of dedication no matter who it is.
