Congratulations BV Drill Team

5th place in Hip Hop, 1st place in Pom for the 5th year in a row, and Best Audio Recording.

Just for fun

A yearbook staffer wanted me to shoot a pair of flying poms for one of the MS Cheer pages. I played with it in Photoshop some. Kinda fun.

Season Opener

Here's some shots from last night's game in Missouri Valley. I was having some troubles with my camera setting- and with gunk on the lens, so I didn't do nearly as well as I usually manage to. I'll try to do better next time.

These girls did pretty good for a first game- I couldn't believe how nervous they were , they'd been doing SO good in practices. Still, there was hardly any "dead-air" time because they kept on cheering. I'd say they were a little more comfortable by the 2nd half of the boys' game than when they started the girl's game. I should be a great season, because they have so much potential and, as you can see- they're having a lot of fun together too. What more could you ask?

2009-10 Tee Shirts

Middle School Cheer Shirt, pink on black

Basketball Cheer Shirt, pink on lime

Football Cheer Shirt, lime on pink

Tee shirts are $12

I've ordered them for people currently on cheer. Sorry, they haven't told me how soon they'll be done. Before Christmas is about all I can tell you. Please bring me your $12 as soon as you can. You won't receive a shirt until you've paid your $12.

Parents and friends are welcomed to support BV Cheer by ordering one too if they'd like them- just let me know the size and send your money and I'll add to the orders.

These are Coach Mallory originals, they're not from any catalog, Web site, designer or service- you're very own Coach put in the time, effort and graphic design skills. Therefore no one else anywhere on Earth will have shirts anything like these. Made just for you!

If we get hoodie sweatshirts, expect them to be $20. Football hoodies will be pink ink on a grey hoodie. Any ideas for Basketball's or MS colors for hoodies? Keep in mind I don't know what colors they'll be able to offer. Sure bet they'll have black, white, grey or purple though. Don't start bringing money for hoodies just yet- I haven't ordered any. Plenty of both Basketball and MS cheerleaders have also been asking about sweat pants too. I'll let you all know about sweats & hoodies when we get to it.

Mascot Shopping

Here are a bunch of mascot costumes I've been looking at. Naturally, I lean toward the $199.00 one because then we can use more of our money if we need to order 1 or 2 new cheer uniforms.

But I guess I also lean more toward the same look that we've had for the last 10 years ($760 cheapest). It's you guys who'll have to wear it for the next few years, so I'd love your input. Mean, cute, silly, gray, tan, pug? Let me know what you think as soon as you get a chance to look at a few of these.

Senior Night, Friday, October 9

I can not begin to explain how much I'm going to miss these girls. Good luck in college, National Guard, and just plain in life, Ladies. Oh wait, hopefully at least 2/3 will be back for basketball season, but still- I really care about ya and wish it wasn't coming to an end. Thank you for all your hard work over the years. Sometimes you fought like sisters, sometimes you laughed until you had to pee. All the time you lifted school spirit. I mean it when I say that I genuinely thank God for each of the three of you and have been blessed to get to be a part of your lives. I can't believe how much you've all changed in 6 years!

Love-
Coach

Sasha's Run-Thru

Brrrrrrrrr

You're furry- so warm my hands!

It was a LOOOOOONG drive, there were few fans and no visitor stands, Chris was gone to Guard duty and Cammey was with her family in Kansas, and did I mention that it was FREEEZING?! But we still won 34-0!

Kensie was sad that there weren't any pictures of her on the blog yet, so now there is one.- bundled up.

Idea for this year's tee-shirt
