REALLY 'Old School'

Yeah, that's me with no goatee and way too much really black hair.

This was homecoming 1988 at Concordia University, Nebraska

Pretty embarrassing, but this blog wouldn't be here if it weren't for that football season in Seward.

Old School

Aleigh cheered at Boyer Valley on 2004-05
Now she's at Iowa State. As you can see, she is a former rodeo queen! 

kinda old school

I'm trying to clean out the files on my computer and I ran accross this great picture from the summer camp we attended a couple of years ago. 2004 I believe.

There are Aleigh and Kelli about to get Moe up in a stunt with Rena spotting in back. I'm pretty sure this is at Morningside College in Sioux City.

Cherokee Wisdom

Cherokee Wisdom

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.

He said, "My son, the battle is between 2 wolves inside us all: One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego.

The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf wins?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

You can be part of this blog- don't leave it all up to me. If there's ever a picture or a post that you want to leave a comment about all you have to do is click on the "Comments" link that's underneath each post.

Wouldn't it be fun to make up your own captions for pictures of you & your squadmates? Or include your memories or just put your two-cents in on topics that I write about.

Please comment, we're all part of this program, even fans and rivals!

LALHS JrHi Cheer was Loud and... PROUD!

The FULL X

Here's that 99 squad from LA Lutheran putting Christina up in a full extension. We didn't QUITE get there with Boyer Valley's Basketball squad this year, but I really thought we could've.

Please tell me you were here

Ever take a look at the "sidebar" on the right side of the page? There's lots of stuff there: a film-loop photo scroll, a description of this blog, the drop-down jump menu to my other blogs, some cool links, cheer ads, and archives of past month's posts. But maybe the most important one has been getting overlooked. Just under the drop-down jump menu is the guestbook.

Please, leave a comment, and your email address. Especially if you're from L.A. Lutheran, Shadow Mountain, Concordia Nebraska, or have graduated from Boyer Valley years ago and have lost touch.

I'd also love to hear from you if you're another Cheer Coach or a cheerleader from another school. We love ideas for pep-rallies and our mascot. I'd like to share what other male cheerleaders have to say about what it's like to be in this girl's sport. Thanks for surfing by!

Welcome to the blogosphere!

Not quite so "Old School"

Four of the Six members of my first squad at Boyer Valley in 2000-2001.

Left to right: Audrey (aka "Big Red" ala the stupid "Bring it On" movie) she was a good leader (and not near the bitch in the movie) Now she's a mom, a farm wife and a part time college student, hopefully still someday to become a world famous chef and not nearly the wild child that she was in school. I always enjoyed talking with her and though she'd make a great coach someday. She could fly, base, jump, MC a pep rally, teach chants to rookies, and man could she yell!

Next is Christina Rose, also a decent leader and helluva yeller. Also a bit of a wild child, but then I'm pretty much a prude. Great sense of humor and a patient teacher. Last I heard, she's working on her coaching endorsement but has her eye on Drill more than Cheer. Her baby brother has worked as mascot for us some this year.

Then there's Jenn. Sharp, accurate- great backround in Drill/dance/even ballet. Man, could she kick! She's now at Georgetown working on a degree in Sociology. She and I could talk forever about Art and politics. I wish I could hook her up with Kenny, who was mascot the year of this picture, you know how you always want to get 2 people you care about together so you'll be more likely to stay in touch with both of them longer? But alas, he wants to move back and farm and she wants to stay in DC and save the world.

And then there's Sadie. She's just a wee Freshman in this picture so she'll probably hate me posting it. She went on to become every bit the leader that Red was. Between me and some melodramatic squadmates, she put up with a lot. She also became an awesome Yearbook Editor too and can she draw and paint! She had just enough Texas in her to make her a great cheerleader too. Everybody loved Sadie. She had a huge crush on Presidential candidate, NC Sen John Edwards. She is an EMT and was pre-nursing in college, but the rumor mill says she has a boyfriend in Missouri. I hope she sticks with it and gets a Bachelor's Degree and I hope he is worthy of her because she deserves the best.

Not pictured are Iris the Art goddess, Candace the tiny, and of course Kenny as Cujo
