Kensie & Christine find this time of year a little "hairy" what with studying for exams and all that. Congrats Kensie on moving on to State for Girl's Track, good luck tomorrow!
Jessica chews Sasha's ear off- literally.
Once upon a time I thought about using this blog as a jumping off point for eventually writing a book about being a male cheer coach. Never have seemed to find the time or the self-discipline.
Once upon a time I thought about using this blog as a personal journal about the trials and tribulations of being a junior high and high school cheer coach. But it seems like too many cheerleaders and occasionally parents actually read it and once in a while I'd strike a nerve or otherwise just say something that someone would take issue with. So, in the interest of good PR, I tried to totally back off of that.
Which left this blog kind of a fun photo album/scrap book for my cheer squad and a (hopefully) a means of communicating to both those cheerleaders and their parents. I'd like to hope that it is also a way for my former cheerleaders and mascots to get a glimpse of what we're going now and hopefully get back in touch with me or each other.
So here is a teensie bit of news and notes:
- Congrats Seniors, Angie, Cassie, Kim, Halley, and Brett!!! And the whole class of 007
- Good luck Angie on being an alternate for UNI's cheer squad- I sure hope someone quits so you get called up!
- Happy Birthday Rena! May 15
- Welcome back Megan, glad you're healthy- keep that way (Phil 4:4-8)
- Congrats Kensie on going to State for Girls' Track, take care of those knees
- Happy birthday Sasha! May 9
- At this point, Football Squad looks like; Rena, Sasha, Kensie
- Kassi still doesn't know because of work and family
- I tried recruiting soon-to-be-Freshmen; Kaitlyn Bonsall, Brittany Williams, and Taryn Fouts, but didn't hear back from any of them.
- I don't know if the school will consider Megan's special circumstances when considering grades and permit her to cheer next Fall or not, but I'll look into it.
- Christine REALLY wants to, but a lot depends on this summer and mom
- We have no bites from possible mascot candidates, got any ideas?

- Jessica might think about basketball cheer, but she's not sure (I can't imagine she'd pull herself away from Weber and Dunham and the pine to cheer again, we'll see)
- Vicki Jones, Kristen Head, and Kayla Donscheski have all told me that they're interested in basketball cheer next year- Jonsie even plans on recruiting Ashley Reetz
