[cheerdad]

Well let me get one thing straight right now with you cheerdad..I was sitting in the Powell County section and yes believe me those girls did clap for estill and after the competiton they all said congradulations in the back. Whether or not you seen it they did because i was with my cousin. You don't nee to jump to stuff you don't know. Powell girls were dissapointed because they didn't get it but they all held their heads high because they had a great season and they knew that they were champs at heart.

Yes that .50 deduction was from the little girl in the back waving the flag she stepped on her pom trying to pick up the flag!

And just because you don't think Powell should go to state cheerdad doesn't mean everyone don't. Yes that is your opinion but still powell was awesome and they deserve to go to state more than anyone else out there. See this is why so much stuff gets started between these cheerleaders. Their parents get on here running their mouths and getting the cheerleaders mad at each other. I thought this site was made for athletes to talk on not parents to get on here and diss the other teams?????

WOW,,,,hmmm...Well, since this "tyraid" was posted, I have read it several times trying to understand why and where it came from. Trying to figure out how she/he can accuse me of " their parents get on here running their mouths and getting the cheerleaders mad at each other. I thought this site was made for athletes to talk on not parents to get on here and diss the other teams?????" when this is exactly what she/he is doing herself/himself in a previous post by saying "Well Estill may have had more tumbling and difficulty then Powell but Estill's dance wasn't original". There is NOT a single routine done by any squad that is "original". Everything has been copied from something, whether it be a movie, a TV show, a dance move that was seen in a video. Just like in Estill's routine; when they did the hand-jive...they did it to the song that "back in the day" that is what they did...they did the hand-jive. Just like Powell when the Chinese music started playing, they put their hands together and bowed, just like they do in China. See my point??? These routines had a theme and both squads executed moves that related to their theme respectively. Estill's theme was music from the movie GREASE, thus, they did the dance moves from the movie GREASE.

I wasn't/hadn't/didn't diss anyone. I thought I had given praises, acknowledment and congratulations as they were deserved. If anything, I thought I would have been accused of dissing Estill because I said, "Estill also had an awesome routine that was not as clean..." No where in my post did I EVER say that Powell was/is not good or did not do a good job. Powell execute their routine exactly the way they were suppose to. They did it just the way they wanted to do it. What amazes me the most is how some people think they know more or better than a judge does. Whatever happened to the day when you didn't win, you didn't win, not because of "the judges" but because someone was just better than you on that particular day? What happened to competitions that when you won, the reward of winning was moving to the next level and not going to the next level because they are slots to fill? I have questioned this several times since KAPOS started doing this...and again this is just my opinion...it is not meant to be vacisious in any way, I am NOT dissing another team...it is just my opinion.

Stride, if you would please go back and re-read my post, you will see that what I was talking about was what happend ON THE FLOOR...I did not say anything about what was said "in the back" I wasn't in the back. I was just saying what I have on a tape.

Thank you SC for pointing that out to me about the deduction. SC and everyone else, thank you for seeing what I actually said and what I actually meant.

Stride, from one parent to another, I am sorry if my comments offended you and that you took them personal, my comments were not meant to do that in any way, form or fashion to ANYONE!!! This is a forum and a forum is just that, a place for discussion.
