[Over The Fence]

I enjoy keeping up with the "goings on" in all sports on the BGR pages. I didn't see the regional state competition so I can't voice my opinion on the outcome. Judging at a cheerleading competition is subjective. The scoring isn't as objective as counting how many times a ball goes through a hoop or how many times a runner crosses home plate. What one panel of judges thinks can and will be different from another. I wish the Estill Co. and Powell Co. girls and fans would spend more time working on things they can do to improve and less time bashing each other and questioning the opinions of the judges. When rivalries turn to hatred, no one wins. Even though it may be just a few people from each side, it casts a negative light over every one involved.
