I know KHSAA doesn't recognize Cheerleading as a sport! But, Me being a cheerdad and and a basketball, baseball and football coach, Let me tell ya Cheerleaders are some of the best athletes I have seen! So, I saw a post earlier on here and she said she first put it on here as a joke, well here is one for real!
So I will start it out!

You can even talk about Middle School Squad if you want!

From what I have seen at the High Scool level:

Pikeville is always one of the top in the mountains along with Paintsville and Johnson Central.

As far as Middle School goes:

Johnson County Middle School is by far the best Middle school Squad in the mountains with a VERY strong Tradition! Their squad this year is pretty good but they had a Squad last year that was UNREAL! They have NEVER finished below 1st place in the last 4 years now, no matter where they went!
I was with them last year at the Smokey Mountain Classic in Gattlinberg, TN where they competed. And let me tell you something, They SMOKED the whole field! Not only did they capture 1st in the Middle Scool Div. against 13 other squads from other states! They captured GRAND CHAMPION over 34 total squads. To include High School Varsity, which included Paintsville, and also over Super Varsity and Co-Ed Super Varsity Squads from other states! They were AWSOME!
Their Coach is NEVA BENTLEY and she is a 1st Class Act! She demands Respect and Discipline from her Girls and she also teaches them to respect themselves! If you have an attitude or you don't want to give your best for the squad, you won't be on the squad! The woman has never finished below 1st place since she has been at JCMS! One thing is for sure, she runs the squad, not the parents or the girls.

NOW, What hapens when they go to Johnson Central? You would have to ask Ms. ANNITA STURGILL that question. She has all these champion cheerleaders and tumblers coming in and they get smoked every where they go or they all quit on her. Maybe it is the favoritism she shows her upper class girls, by allowing them to make the calls while on the floor and sidelines, by saying when and what girls can tumble or do lifts. Every year she runs the compitision squad and every year for some reason a bunch of girls quit. This year alone she has had over 17 TOP cheerleaders quit her squad. BUT, NOTHING is wrong. Maybe it is because she makes the freshman girls always roll the mats, pick up the trash and always makes them run if they are late for practice. And she can't even get there on time herself for practices and games. The Juniors and Seniors are always showing up late and leaving early with no backlash whatsoever. She also runs another squad of girls which cheer only games and she only practices those girls before games and wears them out and then jumps them because they mess up. So looks to me the admin. needs to listen to all the complaints and open their eyes and make a change. But, we are talking about JCHS who fired their head basketball coach after winning two District Championships. I quess the only way to have job security there is to loose!

Oh. Lawerence Co. ussually has a pretty good squad also.
So tell me what you think CHEER FANS!

[The Guru]

Pikeville is tops!
Several squads are working very hard to compete at Pikeville's level.
JC, SF, Mag. C. as well as others.
Paintsville hasn't been good for years, and won't for some time IMO.

[cheerchick]

I guess we will find out tonight at the All A whos the best. Good Luck to all the squads who competed! ....Good Luck SF!....

[Fuzzy5118]

Tonight's trophy will only tell who had the best performance on one night of a tournament. Game situation cheer is very different from competition cheer. I wish all squads the best and hope that Carole Mullins from Perry Central was objective in her judging. If you want to discuss cheer, being more specific about which setting you'd like to discuss would help.

[Fuzzy5118]

Congratulations to the South Floyd Raider cheer leaders on winning the Class 'A" Region 15 in-game cheer competition. Good Luck in the in-game competition of the Class "A" State Tournament!

Good Luck to all Class "A" squads from the 15th region participating in the Class "A" Cheer Competition that is held in conjuction with the tournament!

[halfstep]

Well Bless my Soul! I received a call from a parent who was in Lexington today and she told me that JCHS won the compition that they were in. She stated that they were up against 2 other squads. She told me that JCHS dropped at least two mounts and fail on tumbles and still managed to finish 1st. She said that the other squads were even worse. But, non the less congrats to JCHS on the 1st place finish.

Also congrats to the SF Raiders on their 1st place finish!

[we'vebeenframed]

Congratulations SF! I know you all work really and it shows! Mrs. Isaac must be thrilled! Good luck in Richmond!

[HeartOFaChampion]

Pikeville Panthers Is The Best All Around!

[cheerchick]

yea they was so good thats why SF beat them right? SF cheered against them the night they was getting judged and I think SF proved that they could outcheer them! GOODJOB girls and goodjob to the the girls who competed

[catsfan072]

I seriously doubt Pikeville cares about winning the All A tournament. They are more worried about winning things such as Nationals.

[M.V.P.]

In the Boys All 'A' Toourney at ACHS , SFHS got 1st and SVHS got 2nd

Halfstep, it looks by your aviator that you are a Paintsville fan so why do you even care what the cheerleading coach does at JCHS and JCMS? How do you know so much about their squad anyway?hh: By the way, JCHS has a great coach in Starns. All the qualities that you find honorable in Ms. Bentley is what you will find in Starns. He also demands RESPECT AND DISIPLINE which was something the former coach lacked.

Maybe you need to read this again! Coach Starns was never even mentioned in this thread. :wtf1: I think he is a good coach. And how can You put down the former coach, when all he did was win two District Titles and finish 2nd in the Region. He cared for his Team so much, when asked to resign and walk out, he said no, he would not leave his Team, SO they fired him! :please: As for knowing so much about Cheer Squads, if you would have read the actual contents of my post you would have seen that I was with JCMS in Ten. I have witnessed the difference in the JCMS and JCHS squads first hand! :confused: So still wander how I know so much? :confused:

So when you think you have a clue what you are talking about then you can repost. All I know is that there are some majer problems with the JCHS squad! Starting with a coach who tries and act like a highschooler instead of a Mentor! Once they get some one who leads by example, then JCHS may began to lead the way! erved:

Sheww..what'cha got your panties in a wad for? Just let me say that I was just questioning how you knew so much about the workings of the JCHS squads. Not that I really care that much it was just interesting how you went on and on about them. Just couldn't figure it out. I also will say that I don't necessarily disagree with you about what you said regarding the squad. If the cheer coach does what you say it may be time for her to step down. It is hard sometimes though to replace them because not many people want the job. If Ms. Bentley wanted to that would be great!
Now to address the b-ball coach situation. Les is a great person. Extremely nice. The problem with him coaching was the same that you were complaining about with Ms. Sturgill. Lack of disipline. He let the parents interfere way too much and he couldn't control it. I will always wish him the best.

I guess you could say t hat I was just venting. It is a very big sore spot for me right now. I just hate seeing so many good athletes ran off time after time. And alot of the time it is just because of who they are. Things seem to be changing in a few areas but, they still have a few more that they need to address. As for Coach Trimble listening to the parents to much. This is the very problem you have at this school, donating parents and admin. Just sit back some time with an open mind and listen and observe and you will see.ecret:

I have to agree with you there. It seems as though a lot of school systems around here tend to listen to certain people more than others. JCHS doesn't seem to be as bad as others but it does happen. I also would like to see ANY teams or squads at JCHS live up to their potential. Hopefully the situation you speak of will work its way out soon. The problem as I said before is that sometimes in cheering it is hard to find someone who will donate the time it takes to build a championship squad as Bentley has done over the years. I hope the girls will hang in there and keep doing their best. They seem to be a great young squad there!

[UKGIRL20]

Have to Congratulate South Floyds Cheerleaders, they were great for a long time and then pitiful the past two years after ms. chaffins left.

Since you seem to be straddling on both sides of the fence anyways, I would go to where the grass is greener if things are that bad. Hey maybe Lawrence Co. is the answer for you.

[PvilleCheerAlum]

did pikevilles bball team even make it to the all a tournament. i hate that we cant win the cheer awards at big tournaments because our bball team always sucks.

[Triple Threat]

UMM..Yeah...that's the reason....

[PvilleCheerAlum]

South floyd is gonna get dominated in the state all a in game competition. they are going up against bardstown, university heights, owensboro catholic, bishop brossart, and somerset. all of these squads are known for great cheering.

Pikeville will win the cheer competition. they have won every year they have had the competition.

[PvilleCheerAlum]

UMM..Yeah...that's the reason....

dont even start with me buddy. :ChairHit:

[Triple Threat]

dont even start with me buddy. :ChairHit:

Let's be honest here Pikeville aren't all there hyped up to be. I have seen them cheer and they pretty much stink at all ballgames not just at the end of the season.

The national champ is just a load of garbage. It is a competition that people pay to attend. You can only be national champions if every squad in the nation competes,which they don't. Yeah I know that you have to win smaller competitions to get to go, but pikeville usually goes to the ones that there aren't many squads in. Last year, pikeville's jv come back bragging that they were national runner-up (2nd place) but they didn't tell anyone that there was only 5 squads in their "national" division.

I've been to nationals and seen what goes on. If pikeville was so great in "nationals" you would think that they would be state champs every year in little old KY..are they? NO. Have they won in the past yes but in the divisions with the smallest competition.

I've started with ya and I'm finished with ya.erved:

no you really didnt. for your information, i was on both of those national championship squads in which we competed against 70 plus squads both years. you dont know anything about nationals, you know nothing about KAPOS so shut your mouth about stuff you have no idea about.

[PvilleCheerAlum]

and i completely agree with you. the girls varsity did not deserve to win. they dont even deserve to place. they compete in the freshamn division with 5-6 other squads when they have 5th and 6th graders on their squad.

i have no problem sending you a copy of both of my nationals videos. (the ones that were shown on ESPN), a copy of the list of squads who competed in our division both years, and the official UCA web page with our picture and placing.

KAPOS is a state competiton held by an independent organization. it is not held by UCA but by KAPOS (Kentucky Association of Pep Organizational Sponsers). I will also point out that in 2002 we competed at KAPOS in the tradition category which is a big change from our normal 2 1/2 minute division.

To add to the other competitions we won those years, NCA Paramount kings island Cheer and Dance competition and the All A State championship grand champions (meaning we beat all squads in all divisions)

so i am sorry my friend but erved:

:lol: :lol:

You don't know me and don't know exactly how much I do know. Like i've said, I've been to nationals and know about KAPOS. I know that the truth hurts doesn't it? I got news for ya, 70 sqauds paid to go to Florida and 60 of them were awful so you really beat about 10 decent squads.

[Pirate Pal]

Let's keep it clean you guys....

You can't compare the best squads because some are better at games, there are 5 different divisions of competition at Kapos and if you don't compete in the same division you can't tell who's best, some squads don't compete at all.


The 15th Region has a ton of talent in cheerleading. They represent this region very well at State.

[Dream_Weaver]

Pikeville will win the cheer competition. they have won every year they have had the competition.

A lot could be read into this statement.
