Secret Santa Suprize!

Here's Cassie with the present that Kassi made her for Christmas! Merry Christmas "CKassiEs!"

Merry Christmas

Every year I try to hang customized stockings for the squad's secret Santa exchange. This year I found these cool cut-outs at the Hobby Lobby in Iowa City and I hung them from some garland that I tied into the false ceiling. By the way, Cassie, you and your folks have been INSANELY generous to me this year thank you ( and Angie too and whoever else is helping out with the big suprise thing that's supposed to take another 2 weeks, whatever it is- you really didn't have to give me so much, I really appreciate it- ahead of time).

Good Grief! Don't let overly commercial dogs, greedy loud-mouthed psychologists, or pink aluminum Christmas trees ruin your Christmas, remember what it's REALLY all about (see Luke, Chapter 2). To all you former cheerleaders and mascots from LA Lutheran ans Boyer Valley- Happy Holidays and New Year too!
Love,
Coach

Cassie gets her groove on

Dec 19 v. Charter Oak-Ute

Here goes Vicki, up. . . up. . . and away!
Some people just seem to HATE having their pictures taken.

Puttin' the pep in pep-band, that's Kassi on the trap set.

Woodbine

V-uh huh, uh huh, I- C- uh huh, uh huh, T-O-uh huh, uh huh, R- Y
Split the V, dot the I, curl that C-T-OR-Y!!!

Haley kicks her heart out to celebrate a basket.

Kassi & Vicki LOVE Bulldogs fans! SMMMM---ACK!

Hello? I know it's the reading of the starting line up for the Tigers, but don't be so enthusiastic! At least Kayla is faking a smile.

Arch Rivals Woodbine Tigers

Fly Angie, fly! Look at the look on Kayla's face here- isn't that priceless? I can't wait till they get the "Full-Extension" up and not just the "Half/Prep Extension."

Hey, a dog's gotta eat, don't he? Why not help out the Junior's prom fund? Note Rena behind the counter there. She's worked the concession stand like a billion times this year.

Boogie down Kim, Haley, and Angie!

LOMA pictures

Angie has a black belt in karate, so watch out or she'll open up a can of ninja woop-butt on you!


Boogey on down, alright alright!

Cujo is not a young pup anymore, you know, he has to make sure to eat nutritious snacks like Doritos.

Re: Cheerleading this week

Whoops! CORECTION:

Sorry kids, I completely spaced off that I have to take my daughter to Omaha Thursday

Varsity- Dec 13- WED, early out, be that as it may... there WILL BE Practice 3:30-4:30

Dec 14- NO Practice, Coach has to take his daughter Gracie to Speech Therapy in Omaha

Junior High-
Dec 14- vs. West Harrison boys, I WON'T be able to make it, forgive me for being so scatter-brained. Who knows, maybe you can talk Kensie (or one of these Varsity girls) into going and filling out a squad evaluation for you. AGAIN though, cooperation (including with Christian & Tyler, frequency, energy, most of all FOCUS- and again, I am REALLY proud of and impressed with your skills- impress everybody else, especially Mr. Weber, Mr. Brunning, and Mr. Straight. And keep the stage clean and your shoes on. ;)

Fite Song Lyrics & Music

Some of the Faculty have expressed to me that they think that it is important that students learn the fight song. Jr Hi Cheer has been trying to learn the dance this week. If you want to try to memorize the song, or practice the dance, here is almost all you need (sorry- no video)

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO/DOWNLOAD THE FITE-SONG

Onward Bulldogs,
Onward Bulldogs
Fight on for your fame.

Run the ball
right down the court
And a victory’s sure this game.

Rah, Rah, Rah!

Onward Bulldogs,
Onward Bulldogs
Fight on for your fame.

Fight bulldogs, Fight
and you will win this game!

Congratulations

Congratulations to Kenneth Kahl Jr of Buck Grove. Ken was Boyer Valley's first bulldog mascot, "Cujo" back in 2001. Kenny recently completed his Masters' degree in Communications from Middlesex University in London! Not only that, he got the highes score in his class (or was that the highest score possible? Whatever, point is, he is now officially smarter than me)

Congratulations Ken-man!

Above: Kenny, under a bridge in London, next to some graffiti of a monkey trying to ignite a bomb- probably to blow up the bridge.
At Right: Here's Ken with some chick named "Lisa." (I swiped this picture from his FaceBook page). In addition to being "Cujo" for the Boyer Valley Bulldogs, he was also "Spike" for the Concordia University Bulldogs in Seward, NE (that also happens to be Coach Mallory's Alma Mater) But after about a year of that, he decided that he hated cheerleaders ( I think it was just THAT squad that year) and he went cold-turkey on the mascot thing.

Hey, here's an idea- if you're an Alumn of BV Cheer or LA Lutheran Cheer too, Heck, if you're an alum of Concordia, Seward Cheer (even if it wasn't the year Kenny or I were on) Why don't you send me an update as to what you're doing now, where you are, and maybe a picture and your favorite cheer or mascotting mamory and I'll post them here. If nothing else, send me your email address and snail-mail address so I can keep in touch. If you want I can be your sourse for if you're trying to get back in touch with someone else you cheered with. Send me your stories (mostly at:ted.mallory@gmail.com) or malloryt@boyer-valley.k12.ia.us

Congratulations

Congratulations former cheerleader (and older sister of a current junior high cheerleader) Christine for making it onto "SWIBA" (SouthWest Iowa Honor Band), not only did she make it on, but she also got "First Chair" of the whole trumpet section. Way to go hawkeye chick!

The last of the IKM pics

Hustle, Hustle, use your muscle really got the kids goin.

Above, Kim, and below, Cassie really rocked the house with their Drill performance. Did I ever mention what a stellar squar Boyer Valley has? They got all kinds of "Ones" or whatever the rating is called at state, and then went and got two First places and a Second on top of it! Way to go Drillies! FYI Blog visitors- ANGIE took these pictures, not me. The talent never stops.

More from the IKM game

The 3 non-"Drillies" were such "posers" (for the camera, that is) while they waited for Drill Team to perform. Angie, Kassi and Gilda show off their super smiles.

Kim REALLY belts it out durring a time out. You GO girl!

Our Drillies are so awesome, they even came back to cheer with us for as long as they could once they changed into their pom outfits! Thanks Kim, Cassie & Halle.

Some shots of the IKM game

New cheerleader Kassi and former Cheerleader Christine sing the National Anthem- great job ladies!

Angie is AWESOME at crowd encouragement durring time outs and quarter breaks!

The Seniors get surreal- what is that? Kissy-face or fishy face? Cosmo called, they want their cover-shots back.

Mallory's Milieu - CARTOONS

Mallory's Milieu - CARTOONS

I've wanted to be a cartoonist since about 5th grade. I drew cartoons for my High School and College newspapers and now for my local small-town newspaper. Here is a collection of some of my favorites.

When you go to this page, bookmark it to your favorites because I add to it almost every week. Tell your friends about it, forward the web address around if you enjoy them. Who knows, maybe you can create a buzz for me or a web-following so that eventually I could sell my work to bigger papers, magazines, or best yet, get syndicated. Don't get me wrong, I love teaching, but how cool would it be to get to actually make a living drawing funny pictures.

Anyway, take a look, either luagh or get angry, but either way, enjoy.

Notice for Varsity

Date: Wed, 6 Dec 2006 16:20:33 -0600
Subject: Pep Rally Friday

Cheer Squad, FYI here is the outline determined at practice Wed Night 12/6 for the Friday 12/8 Pep Rally-

• Fight Song
• Hey All you Bulldogs Fans
• S-C-O-R-E- Score (teaching new chant)
• Bulldog Beat
• Basketball Lady Captains speak
• Basketball Men Captains speak
• Battle Cry (Class Competition)
• Gimme a B
• Hey Song into Fight Song & dismissal

ALSO imprtant info: there WILL be practice tomorrow (Thurs 12/7) REPEAT: there IS practice Thursday. If for whatever reason you cannot attend, please find a way to let Coach Mallory know. Illness is obviously acceptable. I certainly have patience for family committments and work, but it hurts all 8 when any one can't be at practice as often as possible. Absenteeism will impact whether or not you may cheer at a game, not to mention Varsity Letter eligibility.

If Vicki is out with flu Wed & Thur, it may be best for Kassi to borrow her uniform for this Friday. Otherwise, since Gilda missed Wed practice Kassi may borrow hers. That way she and Haley can both cheer Fri. I'll see if we have funds to order a 13-16 top and a M body liner for Kassi- no promises. Kim's gotten her uniform taken in, Gilda may need to do that too. Cassie may want to see if someone can repair the seam on her body liner.

Reminder, this Fri is IKM at home and we need a volunteer to bring hospitality.

Secret Santas start Monday 12/18- try to keep it under $15 total, you may even make things or bring small treats for the first 4 building up to a bigger gift on Friday 12/22

I thought you looked terrific and did an outstanding job last night at Manning, keep up the good work and keep your spirit up. Drink lots of water. Stay healthy, get well soon if it's already too late for that!

-Coach

Dec- 5 v. Manning

Unfortunately most of out students sat on the other end of Manning's huge gym. No sweat, WE ARE LOUD ENOUGH!

When they say a game is "a real nail-biter" they don't mean it LITERALLY, Kayla!

Baskets make us just want to leap for joy!

Kartwheels? No prob, Bob.

Shadow Mountain

FYI- One of the most famous Shadow Mountain graduates is Boston Red Sox (formerly of the 2001 World Series Champion Arizona Diamondbacks) pitcher Curt Schilling who is from the class of 1985. Schilling helped the Matadors reach the state semi-finals before moving on to become a perennial all-star, a World Series MVP, and the National League record holder for strikeouts in a season by a right-handed pitcher.

Coach Mallory is from the class of 1988. I never met Curt- come on, there were 2,600 kids at SMHS. My brother had an algebra class with him though. My brother said he was a real slacker!

Old School

Just thought I'd throw up my own "Old School" fite song. I'd like to say I had enough school spirit that I still remembered it, but I had to ask an old classmate for help:

It's Shadow Mountain, It's Shadow Mountain

The pride of every Matador

Sing of our honor, sing of our glory

It's Shadow Mountain now we're for.

Now and forever, always endeavor
To battle on to victory
For we will never stop 'til we're on top,
So fight on, Shadow Mountain, FIGHT

Ah the 80's, the most perfect time there ever was. Big hair and huge cell phones.
Back then they had Cheer, Pom, and Drill and you couldn't tell the difference because they all wore cheer uniforms. But I just sat in the stands and watched.
Great baseball teams, average basketball & volleyball, lousy football, but a pretty good band.

Welcome to Shadow Mountain High School, Home of the Matadors, Phoenix, AZ

First Junior High Basketball game

Mascots get hot. Mascots get hungry. Mascots get to take a break durring half time to cool off and fuel up.

Ali decided to focus on basketball, Tiffany got flu, Natalie got a sinus infection...
But Holli, Elsa and Rachel did their best to rock the Bulldogs' world at their first game.

Junior High gets ready for their first basketball game

Natalie flies with Holli and Racheal basing- she's super fan, no she's SuperFly!

Like a matador preparing for battle with the bull Christian dons the Dog head.
