I understand that they competed against 4A schools. Great! But the point I am trying to make is their flyers are ALWAYS super small. It is alot easier to base and fly with these small girls. I don't think it is equal playing field for them to compete against high school girls. Also, where do all of the freshman cheer? I know they are not all on the Maroon team, are they? Are you saying that the only girls on the "white" are 6-8 grades ONLY? I find this hard to believe. I just hear alot of people in the stands complaining about watching this team compete against all high school teams. I know that people from Pikeville Independent are really proud of these girls. I think a more appropriate competition would be the Middle School state competition, since the girls on the white team are grades 6-8 only. I think Pikeville white will come in second/third behind North Laurel, depending on how the 11th region representative looks tomorrow.

Well going by your logic that makes no difference. The Jr. High girls aren't as strong as High school girls so it levels things out. Remember the flyer may be smaller but the base is not as strong as a high school base, so there is no difference.
