Good post & I see your point.
The discussion came up because some folks don't think Pikeville White should be allowed to compete against Varsity squads. Pikeville White is made up of middle school and 9th grade students. Their squad has met the requirements to allow them to get to cheer for their Girls Basketball team. These athletes cheer not only for their girls basketball team, but they cover their own middle school games. + They compete. Their AD makes them have tryouts almost as soon as their basketball teams buses pull back into the parking lot after the last loss.... I say in their respect, they aren't cheering middle schoolers with 10-12th graders during a season. Middle School aged children should not cheer the regular season with the older girls. I won't go into the reasons because that should be obvious. Pulling them up and allowing them to cheer in comps is okay in my opinion, if they bring something needed to the table.
