Brandon Allstars BLACK!

They had a little music mess up, but they looked pretty good to me. I really like their opening stunt, and the pyramid is cool.

Marlins

OH EM GEE!

SO sooorrry that ive been away for so long, like school is taking over my life when cheerleading is suppposed to ;-) lol ..

Soooo, yesterday (12/5/10)  i went to the UCA Regionals, hosted by SRU cheerleading, and it was great! Although it was a two day competition, i decided to go to the allstar one. I like the way UCA set it up this year, the floor was on one end of the gym instead of in the center, facing one of the bleachers. I only wish that the judges were on a platform or something.

Anyways, it was chaos, just like any cheerleading competition. Cheerleaders every where, music blasting, people screaming, i love it!

Lets see, who was i impressed with..
Well FCA has an open all girl team, "Onyx" and you know what, they were good! it was their first competition, and i was very impressed!
Buuuttt, idk how i feel about the uniforms. They are really nice, but i dont think that it goes with FCA's look, well, maybe it was the zebra print that threw me off, since FCA are "Gems". Oh well, they still looked good and im very impressed!



Fca Diamonds showed off as well! I love the pink lining in the uniforms this year! Diamonds won first place in the all-girl level 5 division, as well as grand champs.



Arcadia Ace's has a small level 4 team that i was impressed with as well

One more time were X'N you OUT! Senior Elite is BACK!

Have you guys seen Cheer Extreme Showcase? They are back and ready to win again this year! I love everything about the routine ESPECIALLY the DANCE! Maddie Gardner voguing in the front, LOVE IT! Their open tumbling this year is on point, as well as their stunts, pyramid, just everything!

When, and why did you fall?

So, i remember when i was in 3rd grade, and my best friend Rebecca's older sister was a cheerleader, and we would watch her practice all the time. We just couldn't wait to be just like her! I went to a small catholic school who had a really good cheerleading squad, so we were definitely gonna tryout! I remember practicing my little heart out, i had those tryout cheers down! I Remember after tryouts, my mom was waiting for me in the parking lot, anxiously waiting to find out if i made it or not, and me being the little drama queen that i am [hehe] i had this face of disappointment, that turned into a huge smile and i screamed "I MADE IT" ..life changed right there for me. I was so into cheerleading. It wasn't until our first competition and our first time winning that i realized, that this is what i wanna do forever! I loved winning, i loved going to competitions and people whispering about MCC..[McKeesport Central Catholic]. I will NEVER forget walking into St.Basil's competition and someone yelling, "oh great MCC is here, they always win" ..well, varsity won that competiton, but we [JV] didnt, we got third place and i thought i was going to die! x_x . Back in 98, the best junior varsity team was St.John the Baptist. Yea, so they won, cool lol. My mother has us on tape during the awards, and yea, i was crying. But my dear BFF Rebecca was right beside me, comforting me hahah!! SO, 5th grade rolls around, and 99 was a great year, we got new uniforms!! We were looking bomb, oh yea, MCC was known as the "Bomb squad" which makes sense lol. I was on JV again and we went undefeated that year! Varsity got 2nd at diocese, which was like the biggest competition of the year. Sixth grade, year 2000, best year for MCC HANDS DOWN!! Plus, i was on varsity, which was like, great stuff lol. We won diocese that year, still one of my favorite moments of life lol. I still get chills when i watch the video of the awards from diocese and our coach had whip lash when they announced us winning, well, it actually went like this.. "2nd place, large varsity winner, St.Cyril ..[crowd freaks out] and your 2000, large varsity winner is Mckeesport Central Catholic [sings] "WEEE ARE THE CHAMPIONSSS, MY FRIEENNDDSSS"...ahhh good times.

All-star cheerleading? in 2000, i never heard of it until one of my coaches asked me about joining and invite only cheerleading squad called "Hotcheer Elite". Hotcheer was started by Serra Catholic Cheerleading coaches Jenn, Kelly, and one of my MCC coaches Tiffany. There were a handful of us from MCC on the team, some of the high school girls and other girls from diffeent schools. Hotcheer, was the greatest thing that happened to me in my little cheer world. We got to wear this crazy gold make up and red lip stick that my mom hated hahah! It was so fun, i loved it, and it made me fall more in love with cheerleading. We werent the best team, but we were good! Hotcheer began to grow over the years, and expand. We started with about 20-24 people in 2000, now, Hotcheer has its own gym, new AMAZING coaches, and AMAZING kids. HC is going on its 11th year, and i cant believe it. I love Hotcheer so much i cant even put into words how much that gym means to me, and Jenn and Kelly for being my cheer moms lol. I also cheered for Serra as well. I loved doing Serra and Hotcheer, they were definitely my family and Jenn worked us hard! Payed off for sure, Serra was amazing and i miss those days =(

Cheerleaders have so much passion and such a hard working drive in them its unbelievable. Thats why i fell for it. I cant describe the feeling of competing, with people that i love and being a team. Plus, im a fierce girl ahaha, this is a 100% fierce sport. LOL.
Learn it. Love it. Period <3
