First Varsity Game

Here we were at Manning, practicing a splits-mount in the hall before the game, and chanting away at the girl's game.


Coach's quick critique:
♥=loved it ♣=problem ♦=asset ♠=need to work on
♥ Great over all effort, especially for a first game. Great teamwork
♣ ¿Dondé está Sasha y Brittany? No está aqui. ¿Por que no?
♦ Good pitch, fast learners, work well together, awesome planning & creativity
♠ Need to be LOUDER!

Learning from the opposition

I don't usually put pictures of other squads on this blog, and Manning wasn't necessarily the greatest thing I've ever seen (they're not awful either) but I did want to point out at least two things we can learn from them-

Here they're in a prep during a time out- no HUGE achievement, but notice what they're doing that we haven't managed yet. They're leading a chant while in the prep, not just doing a chant that leads up to one. Takes stamina, kudos to them.

Here they're doing the same slpits-mount that we were working on with Kristen. Notice, the side bases have her hands and arms, not her thighs. She does a great job of pointing her toes too. Kudos again. We'll get it too, we just have to practice.

Over all, good job Manning Red-Dogs-
♥ strong stunts, great pitch, very synchronized
♣ painfully slow tempos

Congratulations Drill Team!

Congratulations to the Drill team for their wins at the State Competition in Des Moines last Saturday:

• 4th place in hiphop
• 2nd in show production

Reminder

Just want to remind you that there is an away game in Manning tomorrow night (Tues 12/4) .

I understand that it's cold and that it's a lot to have to wear your uniform all day twice a week, so please plan on wearing your uniforms on Friday, but do dress up or at least wear BV/purple, black,white tomorrow to school, but be sure to bring your uniform to wear to the game.

Hope you had a great weekend,
Coach

Reminder

Just a reminder, if you can make it, there is a JrHi Girl's Basketball game in Dow City at 4 this afternoon, even though there wasn't school.

No Game tonight

Varsity; I'm just about to call the three of you who aren't in Des Moines with the Drill Competition. Mrs. Pippett just called me. Tonights game v. MVAO has been postponed till TBA. They're talking about Monday night already, but don't think they can get referees in time.

See you Tuesday, be safe, warm, and dry!
