State results???

I disagree that Commerce didn't have enough difficulty. They had enough to score over 240. They couldn't get that with sharpness only. I think the difficulty factor is what separated the top 2 teams (before Trion's deductions) and the rest. Without as much difficulty, the scores will stay lower (215-220). You have to throw it out there if you want to win state. If it hits, you can win a state championship and if it doesn't, you can crash and burn. You might not even make it to Columbus! That's just the nature of this sport.

I agree Commerce did deserve the State Title that Saturday, and that is the way this sport goes. But their difficulty level did not impress me as much as Trion and Walker and some of the other teams that competed. The execution of Commerce was great! They did perform as well as their routine allowed. However, they did not have the tumbling or difficulty as some of the other teams.

So Commerce didn't have any fulls but they opened with a unique crowd leading cheer and no music with 11 toe tucks and 11 standing tucks with NO touchdowns and a perfect toe tocuh basket while Trion had a bow and arrow opening which Commerce did in their 4 stunts, and werent as clean with their opening tumbling. I think that heel stretch WALK to bow&arrow then scorpion click scale double down is pretty good because it was CLEAN! Trion's chin chins were not clean. Commerce also had front hurdler tucks then toe touch pike BHS and a BHS in their cheer. They also had a chant and cheer. I don't even know what Trion's cheer was, you couldn't hear them. Once again here we go basing the whole routine on tumbling when a routine clearly consists of stunts, pyramid, jumps, cheer, showmanship, spacing, timing, execution, difficulty, and TUMBLING! When your pyramid comes down its not clean, when you have wobbly stunts its not clean, when you are not together in your jumps or you timing is off then your execution points go down. Commerce had a perfect routine! GOOD JOB COMMERCE!

As I said, Commerce did deserve the State Title that day. But Trion's routine (if executed properly) is much more difficult. That's all I'm trying to say. So I don't need a play by play of what Commerce's routine was like. Trion had clean tumbling as well, around the same number of standing tucks/toe touch tucks, as well as three backhandspring to fulls. Trion's opening was very clean.
