Saw South Eff at Statesboro competition; they aren't maxing out. I don't think they can outscore Effingham who is maxing all areas.
-
Both Dodge and Southeast Bulloch have looked good in 1-AAA. But I don't see them getting past Pierce. I guess they would be my "upsetters" from a technical standpoint but I don't think either are better than Pierce.
As to 2-AAAA, West Laurens is a good pick for an upsetter. They've got good talent, a lot of it came from what was once a dominant middle school program.
-
Anyone know what time the comp starts and when 3AAAAA is supposed to start?
-
The first session starts at 10:00 and the second session at 2:00. AAAAA is in the second session and their scheduled time starts at 3:25.

Region 3 - AA - Where was swainsboro?
Also how did all the other teams look?
-
I want to say that Swainsboro got fourth but I cannot remember for sure- overall though AA was pretty shaky other than Vidalia
-
What about other divisions?
-
Does anybody have a video of Mary Persons or know how they did today??
-
Veterans had some issues with music and tumbling, Perry had a stunt come down, Mary Persons had a few bobbles too and West Laurens had stunting and tumbling issues....

West Laurens had some good and bad today. Although they got fourth, it would have Been possible to at least get second had their stunts hit. I know they got at Least 5 points in deductions from a full attempt and one mans and pyramid didn't hit. I'm thinking if they work hard this week they could make top 16 and advance to Saturday.
-
Perry also impressed me with what they performed today. Veterans....besides the music and pyramid issue they were amazing as always. 2-AAAA always impresses me and I know all of these teams could possibly advance.
-
What about other divisions?
Pierce was awesome as always today, Man they have a good routine! Effingham was also awesome! I think both have a great shot at winning State!
-
I agree....both are great teams!!
-
Sounds like Pierce was amazing
Veterans had tumbling, pyramid, and music issues but was outside of this great!
West Laurens had a real good shot at sliding up into second.
What a great day of competition and reporting!
-
Have seen East Laurens a few times. They've always been "good" but never blow me away great. Surprised they beat Screven today. Did EL do new things? Did Screven struggle?
-
What were the placements for Southeast Bulloch's region?

I have to give a shout out to East Laurens for making it count when it matters. Screven and Swainsboro are great teams and will be ready come Saturday. But after watching the videos from this competition, it just goes to show that it can be any teams day if you don't show up ready to rock-and-roll!
Also...Pierce was on. I am having a real hard time seeing how they fall of the top of the podium on Saturday. Great team and great energy. Cedartown is my pick here to pull of an upset if Pierce has issues. But Pierce will most likely sit back and enjoy this week :)
Side note after viewing videos: Did veterans really create a 3 at the end of their routine???? If so, does anybody find that to be....I don't know....A little much, maybe somewhat tacky, or distasteful. In a sport where we represent High Schools and communities, to go to a level like that would almost go against what GHSA wants our image to be in my opinion. It seems as though that is a bit of the "All Star" Mentality (where paying customers participate and gyms throw it all out there because they can). Northgate won 5 in a row and never did that. Peachtree Ridge won quite a few and never went there. I'm just curious as to what others think.
And with that, I should say, I have always enjoyed watching Veterans compete in their division. That just stuck out to me. Either way, I will get off that silly soapbox and say...Good luck to all teams :)

Please know that "3" is a goal...not an expectation. There are no guarantees in cheer, they know that. The intention wasn't to be cocky. At all!
-
I can see where it is a goal. And I support that-I am just different in the sense that I would keep those types of things to myself and team and talked about amongst quietly. But again-I have no dog in this fight so I was just merely giving my observation. Special goals don't always have to be plastered for everyone to see.
It can also easily be "locker room" motivation to other teams if they catch wind of it.
So many scenarios when you do something like that.
Lastly, as a team or fan base-they would be the only ones to know that. I can't speak for them or do I know them so on first glance that was my interpretation. If it was my interpretation, I am sure I wasn't the only one that looked at it and thought the same thoughts.
I appreciate you offering a reasoning for more understanding. I do wish all teams the best of luck :) most of all have fun! This is just my opinion and insight. Please don't take offense.

Northgate has had a their music about winning 4 (started off "we want 4") and PTR this year has their music centered around 6.
As far as representing schools. We think it's ok to do trash talking(let's beat *insert school here* and take them down) in football, basketball, soccer, etc. so why wouldn't it be ok to mention that they are going for their 3rd state title?

Couple of things I need to point out before I clarify anything further.
One - You clearly are a supporter of Veterans so your view is going to be that "We" think it's ok. That is fine, but that doesn't necessarily mean the general public is going to think so.
Second - Not everyone thinks it is ok to "trash" talk. I have been in this sport for over 15 years and I can tell you that many teams do not condone or participate in "trash" talk. Does it happen, of course it does. But that rarely means that it is ok.
Third - this is an observation and I was just the only one to come forward and say my thoughts regarding the situation. It doesn't mean that it is wrong or right.
Fourth-Run Throughs, signs, student sections have always had a little bit of "trash talking". But the idea in question here is the actual competing team. It would be comparable to a baseball team holding up a sign in the middle of a game saying "We own you." Or a football team wearing a patch that says "3 in a row" before even getting to the playoffs. A basketball team wearing a pre-warmup shirt that says "Dynasty" before they even won their 5th region championship. The context is performed by a team, not trash talked by a sign from somebody not even involved.
Now for the cheerleading portion-comparing what you "physically" form on a floor and what is in a music portion through a saying, to me, is like comparing oranges to apples. One you see without a doubt. The other is whizzed by your ear in less than 3 seconds and who knows if you hear it or not. Sure if you listen closely, but half the time people in the stands are like "what did that say?" Physically forming something is clear, visible, intent, and easily read. Having music centered around a theme is perfectly fine in my opinion because it would be something special to a team and it most likely isn't "in your face."
This is an argument of personal opinion. Many folks might find something like this fine. I personally wasn't angry, yelling at my computer screen. Just a little head tilt with the thought, "Did they just....." So again, I may represent just cheerknowledge, or I may represent a bigger population. You never know. But anybody that supports the team will clearly think at this point, it is ok. I just am an outside observer of many cheer teams in the state and I offered my opinion to the general public. :) I hope you find no fault in this.
I wish all teams the best of luck and have enjoyed watching all the variety of all divisions!
-
Understandable. By no means am i arguing just was giving my 2 cents. Everyone has their opinion :)
-
I rather call it "Good Discussion ::) ". I'm all for it! It allows us to learn more about each other. We are able to do it better on here because that is what a "vent" is for. I wish you all the best of luck as you approach your weekend with your community!

Pierce County came out on top, no surprise there... they were solid. a few mistakes, but can easily be tweeked and fixed before State. They have a great chance at it again, what an awesome group of cheerleaders.
