Cheer Coach's Blog: I'm so dang old.

I'm so dang old.

Whew! I don't know... do I still have what it takes to do this?

Looks like 6 Junior High, 3 Eighth, 3 Seventh. 2 of the Eighth graders are vets. Talk about a lot of gossip! What hard lives some of these kids have! Yikes.

And are we down to 4 Varsity, not 5? At least one Sophomore cheered last year and two Sophomores cheered in junior high. Just one Freshman who's a TOTAL rookie. She, and one of the Sophomores are pretty seriously ADHD!

We've got our work cut out for us... First game in less than 2 weeks (Sep 2).
