Madison's State Cheer Competition

This is our first year as high school cheer parents. I have found an entire new respect for cheerleaders. I had NO idea how much work goes into it. Between the practice, games, competitions, charity stuff, etc they are sooo busy and they work so hard. The squad has competed in several competitions this year and won all of them in their division but they only competed against like 3-5 schools each time. When they competed at state there were suppose to be 17 in the 4-A co-ed and I think there ended up being 14-15. I was sooo nervous for them. I thought I was going to puke so I cannot even imagine how they felt. They did an awesome job and they only had one small fall. Their routine was really hard and they rocked it! I was soooo proud of them all. Then they won!!! It was sooo awesome. They were all jumping up and down and crying and screaming...of course I was doing it right along w/them...

Since Coach had family gatherings down by Hot Springs I rode back on the bus. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be (I didn't even get sick) and they were all in good spirits. :) Madison of course chose to ride back w/Randy because Charlie had went w/us. Anywho, it was an awesome day!! I took some pics of course. :) (I don't have any of the actual competition because I used the video camera for that).
