A Cheer Report

My apologies - I have been derelict in my duties!

I have not been updating/overwhelming you all

with photos of my JV cheerleader!

BAAAAD Cheer Mom!

It's time to remedy that and post a bit about JV cheer!

This year is way busier than last and I thought last year was hectic!

The JV squad cheers at JV and Reserve games

 (football, volleyball, etc., whatever sport is going on)

and some Varsity games too! 

The JV squad also makes posters "GO TEAM WIN,"

hosts fundraisers and has a 6 AM practice weekly.

I kind of hate that 6 AM practice!

Aren't they so adorable!

Volleyball is my and Maddy's favorite sport!

It's so much fun to watch the girls (both the volleyball and the cheerleaders) -

 they are all so awesome.

And volleyball only takes about an hour -- very important

when there is homework to be done, and . . . 

there is always homework.

The JV squad is really the cutest and best of all 3 squads.

I am not kidding and am not in the least bit biased!

These girls and their adorable smiles and ponytails

get me every time I see them together! 

GOOOO BOLTS!

State Cheer Tournament

Last week all of the cheerleaders attended the 

Nebraska State High School Cheer and Dance Championships!

It was an even earlier wake-up call than their usual

6 AM practices as they had to be at school and ready

to  roll out of town at 5:45 AM!

Do you see Maddy?  She's in the back line pretty far to the left.

The Pius X girls came in 3rd in sideline cheer and 5th (out of 10) in tumbling.

So proud of all the girls as they did a great job this year!  

I had no idea how much work and practice goes into 

cheerleading!  And the girls really enjoyed supporting the

team sports at Pius.
   

A little sad and hard to believe that cheer is over now.  

They have an end-of-the-year

potluck banquet in March, but no more practices until . . . 

tryouts for next year in early April!

GO BOLTS!!
