Apparently there's a home JV/Var Boy's game tonight. Sounds like it was rescheduled Friday. I don't remember Mr. Kline letting me know. Sorry about the short notice. If you can come, great, if you can't that's okay.

YIKES! There's a game tonight!!!
CHEER this week
- MON- Sorry, no practice, I have to run paperwork in to Dr.Crabb's office in Denison, sorry
- TUE- AWAY @ Glidden-Ralston. BUS LEAVES at 4:00pm, so be in the North hallway by the gym by 3:55pm. Believe me, they will leave without you if you're not there.
- WED- Please get me your t-shirt orders with payments by the end of the day so I can submit the order to Something Unique.
- THR- I know we can't get all 8 together, I doubt we could get 6 together. I'll be happy to practice with 4, but I'm not sure its worth it to practice with just 2 or 3. We'll decide together Tuesday night if we need to practice Thursday.
- FRI- HOME GAME, we need hospitality. Sorry, between the early out and all the finals, Mr. Straight told me he'd just assume wait till next month and not have a pep rally. Be that as it may, please show your pride by wearing your unniforms at school. Thank you. REMEMBER TO TAKE YOUR STOCKINGS HOME. Merry Christmas!

Fri "Bus Time"
Ernie let me know today that for tomorrow night's Coon Rapids game we'll take a separate van like during football. I'd just assume leave around 4:20 and go straight there- but if enough of you want to stop and eat on the way, we can leave at 3:45. Let me know your preference ASAP. Thanks.

Congratulations Jennifer
Keep working on demonstrating those NHS principles of Scholarship, Leadership, Character, and Service.
Everybody knows your grades are stellar.Keep it up.
You may have 7 other girls competing for who gets to be boss sometimes, but I for one appreciate your memory of cheers, patience teaching them and initiative and creativity. Keep it up.
Nobody's perfect, not even you. We all get impatient and irritable sometimes. Teens will be teens and sometimes we all get a little wrapped up in ourselves (not criticizing, just sayin') but as your coach I've always been touched by the dignity and kindness you offer to kids with special needs like Quincy and Scotty and to little kids (not just your own cousin). We should all treat each other the way you treat these "special" people. Keep it up.
You could've quit cheer a dozen times and just played basketball, but you kept coming out. You helped make sure that locker-decs go up and posters get made and nag me until t-shirts get ordered. You're not the only one- I totally appreciate how much everyone on this squad serves too, I'm just saying, you're smart enough and pretty enough that you could pretty easily become completely self-serving, but you know the importance of community. Your family has done a great job of impressing that on you and I appreciate it in you. Keep it up.
And to all the rest of you- she's not my favorite, I just want to congratulate her on this honor today. I'm really looking forward to seeing SIX of you inducted NEXT year. You've got the grades and you've got the hearts. All eight of you demonstrate Scholarship, BIG TIME LEADERSHIP, Character and Service. Please Keep it up!

Pep Rally Monday
Monday's Game
- Back to the original Varsity Squad (unless one of you is sick).
- However, Catherine & Lara are welcome to come (and I want you to), but be prepared to have to pay admission (sorry).
- Mr. Straight says you'll ride the pep-bus and do not have to pay for the pep-bus- However, you must remember to sign-up for pep-bus!
- No fighting.
- Please represent, stay positive, follow rules, hair up, not jewelry, etc.
- If you have any issues there, talk to Lisa, Ernie, or Mr. Straight. If she's there, and they're cheer or stunt issues, maybe look for Spenser Miller's mom.
- I'd really like it if you'd wear your uniform or warm-ups and not t-shirts, jerseys etc. This is State. This is YOUR uniform. FB boys don't get to wear cheer shells. Be proud, be united, wear the "little black dress." Black is da bombshizzle!
- Get along, you're a unit, you're sisters. Sisters may fight but they forgive & stay sisters.
- SMILE, this is State for cripe's sake (I'm looking at you Maddie!)

PRACTICE THURS OCT 10 AFTER SCHOOL!
Anyone who can make it-
- We need to make a run thru for the COU game
- Jenn has an outline for Friday's pep rally for us to review
- We should decide who's bringing hospitality
- And... SU tells me that they've got the warm-ups done. If anyone other than Liberty & Madison would like to buy theirs, I really need you to bring a check for that as soon as you can.

Thursday Practice
Okay, so remember last Thursday when I thought I had a meeting during practice but I didn't? That was because that meeting is THIS Thursday (today). But please come anyway, just because you can't work on stunts, you can work on 2 things- finishing the run-thru for NEXT week's game...
AND making plans for your Homecoming "Pup-Rally" for the Elementary kids in Dow City. Friday morning Sept 20. Figure out transportation for everybody from Dunlap (I can't drive you because I teach 8th graders 1&2nd hours), and for everyone FROM DC back to Dunlap for school once you're done. When you get there, check in with Mr. Weber in the office while classroom teachers are taking their attendance. Then they'll all go to the gym. 10-20min tops just like a regular pep rally. So probably 8:45-9:00 or a little later. Use today's practice to discuss what cheers/stunts to do and in what order. Do you want to have Mr. Weber or Mr. Hall or some Coach/Teacher give a short speech? Do you want to teach the Fight Song? Do you take a long Cujo? Kids LOVE Cujo & Chelsea will be eligible again.
Van Time for Coon Rapids is 4:15, but maybe we should leave at 4:00 if we're stopping in Denison to eat.
PS- Liberty, your Shell came. It's on my round table.

JERSEY AUCTION/HOMECOMING
Remember that the jersey Auction is this Sunday, September 15
- The Soup Supper starts at 4:30pm if you /your family wants to eat.
- The Jersey Auction starts at 6:00pm, so please try to be there by/before 5:50 or so.
REMEMBER- You are responsible for getting your shell back by Thursday night so that you can have it to wear on Friday, so be sure to pay attention to who buys it, thank them, and get their number.
I asked Ernie to have you go before the football team. Not sure if he or Coach Pete or just the auctioneers will announce you, because (sorry about this) our daughter Ellen is playing piano at the Clay County Fair, so I won't be at the auction, I'll be in Spencer this year.

FANtastic First!
Want to tell you all- AMAZING first Pep Rally! Maybe best I've seen in my 20 years. Not gonna lie- when the ENTIRE student body stood up when you said "stand & give your battle cry," I had chills. Best in 13 years I've been here. #proud #BVCheer #LOUDandPROUD #FireUP
Wednesday, September 04, 2013
Please Review The Pep-Rally Outline
- Practice tomorrow (Thurs 9/5) from 3:30-4:30 (or whenever we need)
- I may or may not be able to attend because I have a SAT team meeting with Mr. Marlin at 3:20.
- Please run through the outline Jenn wrote up for the Pep Rally.
- If you need to, please continue to work on finishing or fixing locker decs. As much as I'd love you to stunt at the pep rally, please do not practice stunting without me there- it's an insurance/legal issue. Thanks,
Coach MalDog
Fwd: NFHS SPIRIT RULES CHANGE
Ted Mallory
Art | Yearbook | Cheerleading | Newsletter | Web Coordinator
From: Elisa Kahler <ekahler@iahsaa.org>
Date: Wed, Sep 4, 2013 at 8:31 AM
Subject: NFHS SPIRIT RULES CHANGE
To: malloryt@boyer-valley.k12.ia.us
Rule 2-1-5b needs to be clarified in regards to modifying stunts to be appropriate for the surface and/or area and in relation to other participants. Cheerleaders may not stunt while holding run-through signs. Also, stunting while the ball is in play during football games could result in injury if the action of the game changes suddenly and players end up out of bounds by the cheerleaders. Football is unique in that it has breaks after every play for cheerleaders to lead chants. Once the action begins, the cheerleaders should be watching the game along with the fans, which will allow them to be ready with appropriate chants when the play is finished.
Another rule that needs to be clarified is Rule 2-3-1 concerning dermal piercings. At the March 2013 meeting of the NFHS Spirit Rules Committee, the committee discussed dermal piercings and approved editing 2.3.1 SITUATION A to indicate that dermal piercings are illegal.
The committee has now revisited that ruling and determined that a participant with a dermal piercing can participate provided the jewelry adornment is removed. As a result, the situation printed in the rules book is now incorrect. The following rewording replaces that situation in the 2013-14 NFHS Spirit Rules Book:
*2.3.1 SITUATION A: A participant is wearing: (a) a watch; (b) post earrings covered by tape; (c) a religious medal on a chain; (d) a navel ring; (e) fish line or spacer through a piercing; (g) a dermal piercing without the jewelry adornment removed. RULING: All are illegal. COMMENT: If the jewelry adornment of a dermal piercing is removed, it is legal.
As always, state associations have the option of adopting a more restrictive rule than the NFHS rule. Thus, state associations could maintain the original wording of the situation and still determine that dermal piercings are illegal regardless of whether the jewelry adornment is removed.
Cheer coaches should make their cheerleaders aware that dermal piercings will again be discussed at the 2014 NFHS Spirit Rules Committee Meeting. The committee could decide to:
1) Allow dermal piercings with the jewelry adornment removed.
2) Allow dermal piercings that cannot be seen - again with the jewelry adornment removed.
3) Make dermal piercings illegal.
Since the NF Spirit Rules Book is not published until after most cheerleading tryouts, coaches should make sure that cheerleaders are aware of the possible consequences of dermal piercings, especially since there is a chance they could be ruled illegal in the future.

Warm-Ups
VAN TIME FOR FIRST GAME
Update on Warm-Ups
Preliminary price estimates (before screen-printing or embroidery) Jackets around $55 and pants $48. In other words, at least $100 or more.
I'm trying 4 different vendors to see who's cheapest & fastest.

Fire Up, Ladies!
Translation- You are ON FIRE! Keep it up and this year is gonna be EPIC!

Mal Dog's photostream on Flickr.
Here's some pictures from Camp today. Great job. I can't tell you how lucky I feel to have you as a squad. This is going to be a fantastic year!
Warm-Ups
I'm trying to get quotes from three different vendors on warm-ups, hoping to get them quicker and/or cheaper than from a catalog. On average, it looks like approx. $65 a set, and then another $8-10 for embroidery, so it may end up being close to $70/$80.
I know a few of you have talked about wanting to buy your own, but I'm hoping you won't all have to if our account can buy a few sets that will be "school property." I'll have to check to see how much we have. I can ask Boosters to help, but I hesitate to ask for another $800 right after asking them to spend $1,200 last year for new uniforms.
Hopefully one of the 3 printers can save us some money. The break down is $37 for jackets, $27 for pants and extra $ for a megaphone, BV, or bulldog embroidered on the chest. What I'm looking at is fleece lined and polyester knit or nylon on the outside, so that they'll be durable and WARM.
Please pass this information along to your parents so that no one gets surprised if/when this materializes.
