Cheer Competition:)

Whoa!
I had an amazing weekend. First of all, I stayed at the Moody Gardens Hotel because that is where my cheer competition was at. That Saturday night the team, all 16 girls and parents went to Joe's Crab Shack to eat dinner. I guess you can say it was good, but I didn't eat much, I had a terrible headache-probably from nerves. I'm not quite sure.

Yup. And the next day, Sunday morning was the trip to sea. We woke up very early to get ready, there was a room for each thing-hair, make-up, change and ready. Also a breakfast room because the hotel didn't provide that for us.

When we were ready we went downstairs to be in the holding room until it was time for sound check. When i walked in the room I saw all 16 teams, it was beyond ciaos. After that we had a B.A.F.L cheer practice with all the teams. Then the doors opened at 11:30 sharp, I just knew we had all of our fans in the stands.

Then we started the competition. All teams came in announced by the speaker to perform the B.A.F.L cheer for real this time in front of everybody. Finally, each team went back to the holding room and we all took turns as a team to perform. Sadly when we had our time to warm-up, one of our girls had gotten hurt.

She was only 9 years old and had to be rushed to the hospital; also it was her first year, she couldn't even perform with us
. At first the rest of us girls were at doubt we would have to blow the competition off, but we kept our head up high even though we were tearing up inside. We did it for her-Allisaih is her name and is still continuing to go to practice with a sprang wrist and a bruise on her forehead to her nose-mostly her whole face.

At the end, we had gotten our numbers changed, so we can practice and change our routine in less than thirty minutes. We did a great job at the end because out of 16 team, we were the eight that got a straight perfect score (all ones). As for the others they had gotten twos which is not good. Then they gave out sweepstakes/super sweepstakes awards, of course we got super. And also they gave out five judges awards, one of them were best jumps. And i guess you can conclude that we got that award and i know i did perfect jumps and i made sure the judges saw me bring it:)
Finally, I think you wanted to hear this part- out of the teams that got all ones. They gave out 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place. All the other teams don't get anything nor don't count, but we-The East End Lady Eagles got 4th place. and luckily we got placed because that's all I wanted for my last year, not end up with nothing. I felt proud to have our team name called up there.
