Basketball Schedule

Sorry I haven't done a great job of communicating in this off season. Hopefully you've been able to use the "off-season" time to focus on lots of other things. Below is this year's basketball schedule. Wish I'd gotten it to you sooner. We just finalize the newsletter before Thanksgiving break.

Please let me know as soon as you can which games you may not be able to attend. Please let your parents and employers know when you have games so they can adjust your schedules. This schedule is also on the school Website and the conference calendar Website.

Since two of you are playing basketball, one of you is on Drill, and many of you have jobs- it may be rough to get together for practices during basketball (nothing new from any given year). We found that it isn't easy to meet with me during DEAR since I have a MS class. So its important that we all communicate as much as we can, here on the blog, in the facebook group, by phone, text & email. Please please please feel free to contact me, see me before/after school, go ahead and interrupt my class (so long as you're cheerleaders). 

In order to get along, to be informed, and to all feel equal, we all need to communicate as much as we can with EVERYONE. I will try to do better, hopefully without clogging up your news-streams or making you feel like I'm some kind of creeper. But please, communicate with your squadmates clearly & frequently too. No different levels of classified information- if there's a game or prize for a pep-rally, just share it with ALL members, even if that seems inconvenient or unecissary. We need to be a team. If/since we don't have regular practices to help build that unity, we can't let a lack of communication or miscommunication cause disunity. Talk to each other.

Reminders (new for Cheyann):

• We attend all home varsity games & G/B Var. away games (generally if one gender is away alone, the other gender is at home and we couldn't attend both)
• Yes, we should cheer at the JV game before the home Var. game
• We ride the team bus to away games (I'll try to make sure you know times), we sit toward the front, we're the last one's off, no fraternizing with boys.
• Pep Rallies for Friday home games
• While ya ought to be proud enough to wear it every game- I get that 1) that's a heckuvalotta games and 2) it gets dang cold in Iowa in the Winter- SO, our expectation is that you wear your uniform every Friday. Why not dress-up on other game days, just like the basketball players?

Basketball Tryouts

2011-12 Basketball Cheerleading
Tryout Practice Mon Nov 14th and 15th.
3:30pm-5:00pm
If there are enough candidates to hold tryouts, they will be held Wed Nov 16th.
Please see Coach Mallory in Room 219 paperwork.

There are 3 numbers used to help select cheerleaders; 
1) the average of 3 teacher-recommendation forms
2) the Cheer candidate's GPA,
3) the average of the candidate's scores from judges at an actual tryout.
    Please read the Tryout Outline to see what to expect

Final selection is at the discretion of the coach. IHSAA, IGHSAU, and ICCA rules all permit only 6 cheerleaders and one mascot on the court.
Candidates won't be permitted to tryout or to cheer without turning in the following:

• Parent-Release Form - Signing this form indicates that you have also read and accept
  Boyer Valley's Cheerleading Constitution
• An Inherent Risk Waiver
• 3 Teacher Recommendation Forms
• PE/Athletics Physical Exam Form
• Concussion Form (available in school office)

Skeleton Crew

Whereas there were more MS cheerleaders than usual, there were far fewer high school cheerleaders than usual. 2 were recovering from State Drill Competition, one was ineligible for grades, and another just plain forgot her uniform. So we were left with Quincey and rookies Jasmine and Shannon. We weren't too loud, but you know, I was proud- because these kids had the courage to stand up there in front of everybody and do the best they could. They stuck with it where others would've skipped out. That show's commitment and guts and that's something to be really proud of.

Shout-outs to former cheerleader Cammey and her buddy Maddie for working from withing the crowd to keep the spirit going and help Jaz, Shan, and Q out.

Another shout-out to the Missouri Valley cheer squad- you guys are LOUD, sharp, and synchronized! Three things all cheer squads should aspire to. Keep up the good work.

Home Opener

I'm a little rusty on the camera. My settings were off so most of the shots I took turned out blurry. First games are always the worst for cheer squads. I was happy with them and they'll get better. Both our basketball teams won their games.

Shout out to the Missouri Valley squad- they went to cheer camp last summer and it shows- they're really LOUD. 

BK did great her first time as Cujo. Remember next time, it gets hot in that costume, so don't wear sweats underneath!

One of the Time Out Cheers

What class is it that you get to play with dolls in? And why did you have to bring it to the game? It's homework???

MS Girls v. COU

Cathrine and Jamie cheered a couple of games last week (no pictures because I had to run the clock, sorry Jamie). Tonight was the first game for Lexus and Kayla. Maybe next time we can get all 4. 

These girls did fantastic, they're all really loud and kept cheering pretty frequently. We can still polish up some, but I'm really proud of how well they did. 

Meanwhile both the 7th and 8th grade Girls' teams beat the Bobcats. The 7th graders did it 29-27 in a real nail-biter!

3/4 of the 2010-22 BV MS Basketball Cheer Squad

Decisions, decisions...

Cathrine keeps things moving

When we rock the house, we rock it all the way down.
