15th Region Cheerleading Squads! Who's the best!

[halfstep]

:Cheerlead :Cheerlead :Cheerlead
I know KHSAA doesn't recognize Cheerleading as a sport! But, Me being a cheerdad and and a basketball, baseball and football coach, Let me tell ya Cheerleaders are some of the best athletes I have seen! So, I saw a post earlier on here and she said she first put it on here as a joke, well here is one for real!
So I will start it out!

You can even talk about Middle School Squad if you want!

From what I have seen at the High Scool level:

Pikeville is always one of the top in the mountains along with Paintsville and Johnson Central.

As far as Middle School goes:

Johnson County Middle School is by far the best Middle school Squad in the mountains with a VERY strong Tradition! Their squad this year is pretty good but they had a Squad last year that was UNREAL! They have NEVER finished below 1st place in the last 4 years now, no matter where they went!
I was with them last year at the Smokey Mountain Classic in Gattlinberg, TN where they competed. And let me tell you something, They SMOKED the whole field! Not only did they capture 1st in the Middle Scool Div. against 13 other squads from other states! They captured GRAND CHAMPION over 34 total squads. To include High School Varsity, which included Paintsville, and also over Super Varsity and Co-Ed Super Varsity Squads from other states! They were AWSOME!
Their Coach is NEVA BENTLEY and she is a 1st Class Act! She demands Respect and Discipline from her Girls and she also teaches them to respect themselves! If you have an attitude or you don't want to give your best for the squad, you won't be on the squad! The woman has never finished below 1st place since she has been at JCMS! One thing is for sure, she runs the squad, not the parents or the girls.

NOW, What hapens when they go to Johnson Central? You would have to ask Ms. ANNITA STURGILL that question. She has all these champion cheerleaders and tumblers coming in and they get smoked every where they go or they all quit on her. Maybe it is the favoritism she shows her upper class girls, by allowing them to make the calls while on the floor and sidelines, by saying when and what girls can tumble or do lifts. Every year she runs the compitision squad and every year for some reason a bunch of girls quit. This year alone she has had over 17 TOP cheerleaders quit her squad. BUT, NOTHING is wrong. Maybe it is because she makes the freshman girls always roll the mats, pick up the trash and always makes them run if they are late for practice. And she can't even get there on time herself for practices and games. The Juniors and Seniors are always showing up late and leaving early with no backlash whatsoever. She also runs another squad of girls which cheer only games and she only practices those girls before games and wears them out and then jumps them because they mess up. So looks to me the admin. needs to listen to all the complaints and open their eyes and make a change. But, we are talking about JCHS who fired their head basketball coach after winning two District Championships. I quess the only way to have job security there is to loose!

Oh. Lawerence Co. ussually has a pretty good squad also.
So tell me what you think CHEER FANS!

:Cheerlead :Cheerlead :Cheerlead

[The Guru]

Pikeville is tops!
Several squads are working very hard to compete at Pikeville's level.
JC, SF, Mag. C. as well as others.
Paintsville hasn't been good for years, and won't for some time IMO.

[cheerchick]

I guess we will find out tonight at the All A whos the best. Good Luck to all the squads who competed! ....Good Luck SF!....

[Fuzzy5118]

Tonight's trophy will only tell who had the best performance on one night of a tournament. Game situation cheer is very different from competition cheer. I wish all squads the best and hope that Carole Mullins from Perry Central was objective in her judging. If you want to discuss cheer, being more specific about which setting you'd like to discuss would help.

[Fuzzy5118]

Congratulations to the South Floyd Raider cheer leaders on winning the Class 'A" Region 15 in-game cheer competition. Good Luck in the in-game competition of the Class "A" State Tournament!

Good Luck to all Class "A" squads from the 15th region participating in the Class "A" Cheer Competition that is held in conjuction with the tournament!

[halfstep]

Well Bless my Soul! I received a call from a parent who was in Lexington today and she told me that JCHS won the compition that they were in. She stated that they were up against 2 other squads. She told me that JCHS dropped at least two mounts and fail on tumbles and still managed to finish 1st. She said that the other squads were even worse. But, non the less congrats to JCHS on the 1st place finish.

Also congrats to the SF Raiders on their 1st place finish!

[we'vebeenframed]

Congratulations SF! I know you all work really and it shows! Mrs. Isaac must be thrilled! Good luck in Richmond!

[HeartOFaChampion]

Pikeville Panthers Is The Best All Around!

[cheerchick]

yea they was so good thats why SF beat them right? SF cheered against them the night they was getting judged and I think SF proved that they could outcheer them! GOODJOB girls and goodjob to the the girls who competed

[catsfan072]

I seriously doubt Pikeville cares about winning the All A tournament. They are more worried about winning things such as Nationals.

[M.V.P.]

In the Boys All 'A' Toourney at ACHS , SFHS got 1st and SVHS got 2nd

Halfstep, it looks by your aviator that you are a Paintsville fan so why do you even care what the cheerleading coach does at JCHS and JCMS? How do you know so much about their squad anyway?:shh: By the way, JCHS has a great coach in Starns. All the qualities that you find honorable in Ms. Bentley is what you will find in Starns. He also demands RESPECT AND DISIPLINE which was something the former coach lacked.

Maybe you need to read this again! Coach Starns was never even mentioned in this thread. :wtf1: I think he is a good coach. And how can You put down the former coach, when all he did was win two District Titles and finish 2nd in the Region. He cared for his Team so much, when asked to resign and walk out, he said no, he would not leave his Team, SO they fired him! :please: As for knowing so much about Cheer Squads, if you would have read the actual contents of my post you would have seen that I was with JCMS in Ten. I have witnessed the difference in the JCMS and JCHS squads first hand! :confused: So still wander how I know so much? :confused:

So when you think you have a clue what you are talking about then you can repost. All I know is that there are some majer problems with the JCHS squad! Starting with a coach who tries and act like a highschooler instead of a Mentor! Once they get some one who leads by example, then JCHS may began to lead the way! :served:

Sheww..what'cha got your panties in a wad for? Just let me say that I was just questioning how you knew so much about the workings of the JCHS squads. Not that I really care that much it was just interesting how you went on and on about them. Just couldn't figure it out. I also will say that I don't necessarily disagree with you about what you said regarding the squad. If the cheer coach does what you say it may be time for her to step down. It is hard sometimes though to replace them because not many people want the job. If Ms. Bentley wanted to that would be great!
Now to address the b-ball coach situation. Les is a great person. Extremely nice. The problem with him coaching was the same that you were complaining about with Ms. Sturgill. Lack of disipline. He let the parents interfere way too much and he couldn't control it. I will always wish him the best.

I guess you could say t hat I was just venting. It is a very big sore spot for me right now. I just hate seeing so many good athletes ran off time after time. And alot of the time it is just because of who they are. Things seem to be changing in a few areas but, they still have a few more that they need to address. As for Coach Trimble listening to the parents to much. This is the very problem you have at this school, donating parents and admin. Just sit back some time with an open mind and listen and observe and you will see.:secret:

I have to agree with you there. It seems as though a lot of school systems around here tend to listen to certain people more than others. JCHS doesn't seem to be as bad as others but it does happen. I also would like to see ANY teams or squads at JCHS live up to their potential. Hopefully the situation you speak of will work its way out soon. The problem as I said before is that sometimes in cheering it is hard to find someone who will donate the time it takes to build a championship squad as Bentley has done over the years. I hope the girls will hang in there and keep doing their best. They seem to be a great young squad there!

[UKGIRL20]

Have to Congratulate South Floyds Cheerleaders, they were great for a long time and then pitiful the past two years after ms. chaffins left.

[PvilleCheerAlum]

did pikevilles bball team even make it to the all a tournament. i hate that we cant win the cheer awards at big tournaments because our bball team always sucks.

UMM..Yeah...that's the reason....:rolleyes:

[PvilleCheerAlum]

South floyd is gonna get dominated in the state all a in game competition. they are going up against bardstown, university heights, owensboro catholic, bishop brossart, and somerset. all of these squads are known for great cheering.

Pikeville will win the cheer competition. they have won every year they have had the competition.

[PvilleCheerAlum]

UMM..Yeah...that's the reason....:rolleyes:

dont even start with me buddy. :ChairHit:

[Triple Threat]

dont even start with me buddy. :ChairHit:

Let's be honest here Pikeville aren't all there hyped up to be. I have seen them cheer and they pretty much stink at all ballgames not just at the end of the season.

The national champ is just a load of garbage. It is a competition that people pay to attend. You can only be national champions if every squad in the nation competes,which they don't. Yeah I know that you have to win smaller competitions to get to go, but pikeville usually goes to the ones that there aren't many squads in. Last year, pikeville's jv come back bragging that they were national runner-up (2nd place) but they didn't tell anyone that there was only 5 squads in their "national" division.

I've been to nationals and seen what goes on. If pikeville was so great in "nationals" you would think that they would be state champs every year in little old KY..are they? NO. Have they won in the past yes but in the divisions with the smallest competition.

I've started with ya and I'm finished with ya.:served:

no you really didnt. for your information, i was on both of those national championship squads in which we competed against 70 plus squads both years. you dont know anything about nationals, you know nothing about KAPOS so shut your mouth about stuff you have no idea about.

[PvilleCheerAlum]

and i completely agree with you. the girls varsity did not deserve to win. they dont even deserve to place. they compete in the freshamn division with 5-6 other squads when they have 5th and 6th graders on their squad.

i have no problem sending you a copy of both of my nationals videos. (the ones that were shown on ESPN), a copy of the list of squads who competed in our division both years, and the official UCA web page with our picture and placing.

KAPOS is a state competiton held by an independent organization. it is not held by UCA but by KAPOS (Kentucky Association of Pep Organizational Sponsers). I will also point out that in 2002 we competed at KAPOS in the tradition category which is a big change from our normal 2 1/2 minute division.

To add to the other competitions we won those years, NCA Paramount kings island Cheer and Dance competition and the All A State championship grand champions (meaning we beat all squads in all divisions)

so i am sorry my friend but :served:

:lol: :lol:

You don't know me and don't know exactly how much I do know. Like i've said, I've been to nationals and know about KAPOS. I know that the truth hurts doesn't it? I got news for ya, 70 sqauds paid to go to Florida and 60 of them were awful so you really beat about 10 decent squads.

[Pirate Pal]

Let's keep it clean you guys....

You can't compare the best squads because some are better at games, there are 5 different divisions of competition at Kapos and if you don't compete in the same division you can't tell who's best, some squads don't compete at all.


The 15th Region has a ton of talent in cheerleading. They represent this region very well at State.

[Dream_Weaver]

Pikeville will win the cheer competition. they have won every year they have had the competition.

A lot could be read into this statement.

[Pirate Pal]

Beef and any other Mod from Pikeville...


I know that you all know that Triple Threat is my other identity on here..

I know that Pikeville is a very good squad..so don't get upset. More importantly...DO NOT TELL ANYONE WHO TRIPLE THREAT REALLY IS..not that I think that you would anyway..just as a precaution.

I have family and a ton of friends who have cheered and are cheering for Pikeville. They know who I am as Pirate Pal, but not as Triple Threat. I am just trying to get them fired up just to hear them go off when they try to get me (as Pirate Pal) to find out who Triple Threat is...which of course I won't..LOL

It's all in fun, just to get them mad. LOL

[PvilleCheerAlum]

anyway. triple threat. you obviously have animosity towards pikeville. i dont cheer for them anymore, and i dont go to school there anymore. i am not going to take up for them.

but i will also not let someone jealous like you taint 2 championships that my fellow teammates and i worked so hard for. alot of time and effort went into those wins and i am tired of everyone trying to ruin them.

That's where your wrong. I have no animosity towards Pikeville at all. I do like to tell the truth about things though. I want people who don't know cheerleading to know that "nationals" don't mean that every squad in the nation competes and that you pay to go. I'm glad that a 15th region squad won and twice at that but I want to make sure that it's explained. All cheerleaders are athletes in my book. I guess we'll call a truce for the sake of argument.

[PvilleCheerAlum]

i have spent 4 years defending this. and yes we pay to go, but you have to qualify at a regional competition. the only reason we have to pay personally is because states do not recognize cheerleading as a sport. therefore, the squads school cannot give them any money toward nationals since it is a competition out of the state.

OK. That's all I wanted to point out. You pay to go and not all squads in the nation attend. The title national champs is something that UCA, the sponsors of the competition, came up with themselves. But glad you guys won.

[PvilleCheerAlum]

.

[PvilleCheerAlum]

another point i want to make is that UCA and NCA nationals are sponsored by national brands and national stations such as ESPN for UCA and Fox for NCA.

they are deamed the Major national championships recognized by all organizations. Most of the smaller organizations were created by NCA and UCA such as USA cheer and Americheer.

UCA is the competition that was covered on True Life: I am a Cheerleader, featuring Paul Lawrence Dunbar. This is the competition pikeville won in the small varsity division. Just wanted to point that out as well. Just so those who dont know much about cheerleading will know that this wasnt a joke competition. we competed against squads from texas, new jersey, california, and even hawaii among other states.

[The Informer]

I have been reading all the comments on the Johnson Central High School Coach, Miss Sturgill, and the more I know about this person, the more I think it is time that this cheerleading squad needs a new coach! The following information I know to be true. One of Sturgill's "Black Squad" cheer moms confronted her at the Central vs. Prestonsburg game because her daughter along with several other girls were made to sit out on the sideline so that she could put in her competition squad cheerleaders. In her words, it was so that they could get practice in front of a crowd before District Tournament games. This is because she is making the regular school squad sit out so that she can have an unfair advantage over the other high school squads competing for the cheerleading trophy. The look of embarassment and shame was very obvious on the faces of these cheerleaders. The choice to do this, I think was very unfair. These cheerleaders have cheered their team on the whole season only to be told that they are being replaced during tournament time. Miss Sturgill says that the competition squad is her top priority and I believe this especially when I found out that she held a Christmas Party for the competition squad and told these girls specifically that any girl on her black squad was not to be invited! When confronted with why she would do something so hurtful and cruel, she replied that she didn't have time for the black squad. There were only 4 girls from the black squad that aren't on the competition squad, so she was asked why she couldn't just include them in the party. She never gave a reasonable answer, just that she didn't have time to do them a party. I feel like any person that is involved in coaching girls or boys should have to be a parent so that they know these natural insticts about caring for and protecting the best interests of ALL children involved. Miss Sturgill had never been married let alone have any children. Anyone who can be hurtful to a child, there is something seriously wrong with them. Please let me know what you think about the fairness of this coach. Should she stay or should she go?

[Beef]

OK. That's all I wanted to point out. You pay to go and not all squads in the nation attend. The title national champs is something that UCA, the sponsors of the competition, came up with themselves. But glad you guys won.
You pointed out that they DO have to pay. OK, so what? Didn't they earn that right to pay to attend this competition by WINNING at the STATE level? As Pvill pointed out, they HAVE to pay to attend the competition because it is out of state. Any other squad that wanted to attend could but if they earned it, but if they are from KY they too have to PAY to attend. So what is wrong with having to pay if they EARN the right to be there by winning state?

Another thing...you said that they compete in the small division. Why do you think that this is? Could it be because pikeville is a SMALL school and they compete where they believe they should, with other SMALL schools?? And Pvill also pointed out that Pikeville not only wins Small Varsity at State lever, but they too win OVERALL at state level meaning they are the BEST IN THE STATE! Against ALL schools. Some schools choose not to compete for these titles so you can say that whoever wins state isn't the real champ because htye didn't beat everyone. But then again, it could be that these squads knew they wern't good enough and decided no to compete.

If ANY squad in this region wants to drop down in size and compete with Pikeville, they can do it whenever they want. But last I saw, Pikeville has been in the same division, and noone has threated them if they do come into the same division :thumb:

[Beef]

This was getting good....ttt

[Fuzzy5118]

Let's throw a curve ball out there... Wouldn't it be great if UCA and NCA were to have a semi-final after regionals and let the top 10 squads from the semi's have their trips paid to the finals... LORD knows they make more than enough off htese girls to do at least that much !!! Then you'd cut through all the bull dung and have only the best squads competing.
Here's another thing... what about all these MONEY PIT COMPETITIONS THAT MEAN NOTHING EXCEPT YOUR SQUAD HAD ENOUGH MONEY TO GO TO NEW YORK, VEGAS, GATLINBURG, CHICAGO.... why would anyone on the Varsity level want to take their squad to something like this???
Maybe this would make an excellant new thread........

[Pirate Pal]

Pikeville is competing in the Medium Division and has for a couple of years Beef.

[we'vebeenframed]

Just to add a side note about SF getting shut out of the in game competition. The squad at least is in one of the 3 spots. They were told to be in uniform and be there at 7 tonight. I'll keep you posted!

[we'vebeenframed]

Someone informed them their score is similar to Hazard's last year. The girls and Mrs. Isaac are very excited! I'll keep you posted!:phone:

[Fuzzy5118]

SF scored very high last year as well. I hope so much they place higher this year! Sounds like SF is getting it's proverbial "act together". I know they understand in order to be the best, they must beat the best and in order to beat the best, they must worker harder than the best! Way to go SF!

[we'vebeenframed]

Just spoke with SF squad and they won the in-game competition. Keep up the good work.

[PvilleCheerAlum]

Pikeville is competing in the Medium Division and has for a couple of years Beef.

good thing i have cheered for pikeville and now my sister cheers for pikeville and this is the first year they have gone in the medium division AT KAPOS in many, many years. get your facts straight

the reason we go in the small varsity division at nationals is because if anyone recalls there are only 350 ppl who attend pikeville high school. some of the squads we compete against have 5,000-6,000 people in their high school. just wanted to point that out.

[PvilleCheerAlum]

too bad SF decided not to compete in the All A cheerleading competition. guess they will just have to settle for the in game trophy.

[we'vebeenframed]

I am pretty sure they are still in the competition. Just spoke w/ someone pretty close to the squad and they are in it. I just wish I could be there. SF also gets recognized tomorrow at the competition for winning tonight.

Best of luck to all mountain squads!:Cheerlead

[PvilleCheerAlum]

I am attending Class A state tomorrow and i will take pictures of our area squads and post them. I will also post the results. see ya tomorrow!!

[we'vebeenframed]

I was told earlier that SF was grouped w/ Hazard. I don't know if that is still the case or not.

Okay... tonight was the meeting to declare.

Small-SVHS
JCHS
P-burg
Med- South Floyd
Pikeville (Maroon)
Lg.- MCHS
Belfry (varsity)
BLHS
Pike CCHS
SCHS
Traditional- Pikeville (white)
Co-ed- Belfry

Paintsville didn't show. ERHS didn't show and they cheered last year. I would have liked to have seen ACHS and Phelps.... LCHS doesn't have much and that's bizarre since their ms won nationals 2 years ago!!!
:Cheerlead


Well, how's that for knowing some much Eagle Eye?

ERHS isn't going. They look better this year than they have EVER, but something happened and they aren't going.
Oh well....I would love for Lakan Looney to have thrown that full for everyone. It looks great!
But before anyone says anything.....it isn't that the girls don't think they're good enough....it comes down to a new coach, it seems that she may be rooting for Belfry :redboxer: or at least she was at the ballgame when ER played Belfry at Belfry. All dressed in her proud RED tshirt, rooting against the school she teaches at and coaches for....whats that say for character? Hmmmm.

GOOD LUCK to all girls at KAPOS!! This is your time to shine....:mad:

[ridgewarrior]

One more thing about Pikeville Cheerleaders....they are awesome! No, they don't look like a National Winning Squad at all ballgames, but they 'bring it' when it counts! AND they're one of the nicest, most polite and respectable squads that I've seen ER cheer against! There are a lot of squads in this area that could learn a lot from Pikeville cheerleaders....and not just how to do great floor cheers.....but also how to treat a visiting squad. There is not a rude one on the team....or at least not on the floor!!
And that my friends shows a great squad with great class!!

[Maui Nick]

UMM..Yeah...that's the reason....:rolleyes:

No, she's right. That is the reason. Hard to win the All A's competition if you're not there because your basketball team got wiped out in the first round at regionals.

[Pirate Pal]

good thing i have cheered for pikeville and now my sister cheers for pikeville and this is the first year they have gone in the medium division AT KAPOS in many, many years. get your facts straight


I did have my facts straight! You may need to check yours before trying to call another poster out. Pikeville competed in 2 1/2 medium last year. If you need to refresh your memory, please go to the KAPOS link below and check for yourself.

And just so everyone can quit running their mouth, South floyd did not compete in the cheerleading competition this morning. They competed in the in game competition only. these are two seperate competitions.

[sf_football]

sf is the best in the 15th and they have proved it in the last year

[PHSFAN]

Pikeville hands down...

[PvilleCheerAlum]

Here is the ultimate determination. If anyone who knows anything about cheerleading can answer yes to all of these questions about South Floyd Cheerleading then maybe they are the best in the 15th region.

Does South Floyd have a squad in which all members can throw a standing back?
Can anyone on their squad throw a full?
In stunting, can they do any single-base stunts?
Can they execute free standing extension heel stretches?
Can they double-full down from any stunts? or can they full down out of any stunts at all?
Can their entire squad throw round-off back tucks at the same time?
Can they successfully make it through a 2 1/2 minute routine with no falls or bobbles?
Can more than one member of the squad throw a standing hand spring back?

These are simple requirements that make an outstanding squad.

Another question? what are the minimum requirements to make the squad during tryouts?? Standing back? doubt it. probably a back handspring if that.

You know something, I've tried to be nice to you. I adore your Pikeville cheer leaders. I respect their hard work, talent, and ability to always be right in the thick of things from the district tournaments right through to Nationals! I always support them. They are great people. I also support area teams who are working hard to better themselves. No one can just "bat an eye" or "wave a magic wand" and instantly be transformed into an award winning cheer squad. Since you know so much about cheer, you know how much time, hard work, dedication, and working with the right people can mean to building a winning cheer tradition. I for one, am worn out with your recent posts and your put downs. MISS WHEELER & MISS STONE would certainly never appreciate such, in fact it would make them red-faced. You're darned skippy SF try-out isn't on the same level as a Pikeville try-out yet, but then, there aren't very many in this area(15th region) who are. You name them if you know so much. I can tell you this much sissy, talk like you're putting out here will certainly motivate someone to pump up the requirements. Post all you want, but I can guarantee you that it will soon come to bite someone you know in the fanny. BTW those are not simple requirements and you very well know it. Most squads in this region use those types of gymnastics as bonus in the past little bit, but keep talking.:thumb:

[PvilleCheerAlum]

i am sure then that you have completely misses all other posts made in this thread and many others. most people who get on here do not know what constitutes a thouroughly competitive cheerleading squad. I am sorry that i am trying to let others know.

I have been nice to everyone on here. I have taken about 10 years of grief from people bashing pikeville cheerleading. people spreading rumors that we didnt actually win nationals, that we had those jackets made as part of the lie among thousands of other degrading comments.

I am entitled to my opinion just as you are to yours. There is no point in personal insulatation. i have no pointed any fingers at you.

[PvilleCheerAlum]

and i am not using that criteria to single out anyone. you can use that on comparison for anyone.

and i am not by any means saying that pikeville has all of these. we have had our share of bombing out at competitions. there have been times when we havent had any tumbling. we have all been there. it takes years and years of training and determination to get to that level. some years squads have it and some years they dont.

South Floyd has it this year. They are on a great start to their legacy. I really do hope they consider trying to go to Nationals. Its a great experience that i think everyone should have the opportunity to experience.

First, I have not "missed" all of the posts on this thread. Second, don't apologize for trying to "enlighten" others as to our sport, perhaps it's the fashion and wording I find so offensive. You have been nice to folks on here, but taking grief for past transgressions and allowing it to come out on here is not cool. Anyone who would say such a stupid thing about Nationals & those jackets is just too stupid to acknowledge. And as far as "insulatation" is concerned, I've NEVER done it... I'm not certain this is a word, but if it is & it's illegal, I know I didn't do it!:Shaking:

[PvilleCheerAlum]

Just because the handle says pikeville doesnt mean that i was comparing other squads to pikeville. that is generally what the squads who attend nationals have.

[Team Spirit]

Does South Floyd have a squad in which all members can throw a standing back? NO...we what 14..3 with standing tucks 4 others very close..and all standing handsprings

Can anyone on their squad throw a full? YES we have a girl that can throw a full!

In stunting, can they do any single-base stunts? We do single base stunts...may not be as good are p.ville's but yes we do them

Can they execute free standing extension heel stretches? umm YEAH..we have 3 groups and 2 can do heel stretches...

Can they double-full down from any stunts? or can they full down out of any stunts at all? No sorry can't double down...but give us anystunt and we will full down!

Can their entire squad throw round-off back tucks at the same time? Not the entire squad..but 7 of 14 can

Can they successfully make it through a 2 1/2 minute routine with no falls or bobbles? well our 2 1/2 minute today looked good! AT THE ALL "A" Comp. that SOMBODY said we didnt compete in (3rd Place by the way..1st time in it)

Can more than one member of the squad throw a standing hand spring back? yelp 3 of us

And no sorry we dont requrie standing backs at try-outs...BHS yes....but look around the 15th how many squads do? some dont even require a BHS..adn p.ville is very lucky they are an independt school and can take whoever they want no matter the age...we can't take anyone under freshman...if we could then we would have another full(6th grader from a feeder school..she was on an all-start..she's pretty awesome)...

[bestfanever]

In game- South Floyd is the best in the 15th.. and even though pikeville didnt get a chance to compete at the state all A to beat everyone.. they were judged against South FLoyd at the region and didnt come close to placing.. but as far as 2 1/2 minute competions.. pikeville is one of the best squads in the 15th region.. This is South Floyd's second year of even ever competiong with a 2 1/2 minutes routine and only competed in one competion which was last years Kapos... but at the state all A today Pikeville didnt look as good as they normally do.. i think if they would place theirselves in a divison competing against more people then just therselves and unexperienced squads.. pikeville wouldnt make it to nationals and state every year. squads place theirselves in any division they want and can do it even after they see who else has signed up at KAPOS Competions..some squads also drop some cheerleaders before competion to change there division... i think best around is Hazard even tho they arent in the 15th.. They were Awsome today.. even tho they didnt compete against either pikeville squad they were judged on the same criteria and had the highest score at the competion.. i think they could beat pikeville easy.. too bad they wont be able to match up unless they both make it to state..

Thats awesome. I had no idea. Didnt mean to direct it to south floyd particularly. You all have come a long way since last year. we never competed NCA. what competition did you all attend to qualify for NCA? You all should definetly go. Nationals is good experience. now is as good a time as any. the younger girls will get the experience and be able to guide the younger girls in the future.

When i cheered varsity, we didnt pull anyone up to help us out. i cant really say i agree with the fact that this happened because it isnt really fair. Pville requires standing backs to push the girls. most of the girls at tryouts have them but alot of girls who cant do them make it anyway.

[PvilleCheerAlum]

bestfanever "i think if they would place theirselves in a divison competing against more people then just therselves and unexperienced squads.. pikeville wouldnt make it to nationals and state every year. squads place theirselves in any division they want and can do it even after they see who else has signed up at KAPOS Competions"

we have definetly been competing in small division at nationals since 2000 and havent changed reguardless of who we compete against.
Kapos is usually decided depending on what the girls want to do and if they want all of the girls on the squad to compete. it isnt to avoid competition

[EKYMAMA]

:Cheerlead :Cheerlead :Cheerlead
I know KHSAA doesn't recognize Cheerleading as a sport! But, Me being a cheerdad and a basketball, baseball and football coach, Let me tell ya Cheerleaders are some of the best athletes I have seen! So, I saw a post earlier on here and she said she first put it on here as a joke, well here is one for real!
So I will start it out!

You can even talk about Middle School Squad if you want!

From what I have seen at the High Scool level:

Pikeville is always one of the top in the mountains along with Paintsville and Johnson Central.

As far as Middle School goes:

Johnson County Middle School is by far the best Middle school Squad in the mountains with a VERY strong Tradition! Their squad this year is pretty good but they had a Squad last year that was UNREAL! They have NEVER finished below 1st place in the last 4 years now, no matter where they went!
I was with them last year at the Smokey Mountain Classic in Gattlinberg, TN where they competed. And let me tell you something, They SMOKED the whole field! Not only did they capture 1st in the Middle Scool Div. against 13 other squads from other states! They captured GRAND CHAMPION over 34 total squads. To include High School Varsity, which included Paintsville, and also over Super Varsity and Co-Ed Super Varsity Squads from other states! They were AWSOME!
Their Coach is NEVA BENTLEY and she is a 1st Class Act! She demands Respect and Discipline from her Girls and she also teaches them to respect themselves! If you have an attitude or you don't want to give your best for the squad, you won't be on the squad! The woman has never finished below 1st place since she has been at JCMS! One thing is for sure, she runs the squad, not the parents or the girls.

NOW, What hapens when they go to Johnson Central? You would have to ask Ms. ANNITA STURGILL that question. She has all these champion cheerleaders and tumblers coming in and they get smoked every where they go or they all quit on her. Maybe it is the favoritism she shows her upper class girls, by allowing them to make the calls while on the floor and sidelines, by saying when and what girls can tumble or do lifts. Every year she runs the compitision squad and every year for some reason a bunch of girls quit. This year alone she has had over 17 TOP cheerleaders quit her squad. BUT, NOTHING is wrong. Maybe it is because she makes the freshman girls always roll the mats, pick up the trash and always makes them run if they are late for practice. And she can't even get there on time herself for practices and games. The Juniors and Seniors are always showing up late and leaving early with no backlash whatsoever. She also runs another squad of girls which cheer only games and she only practices those girls before games and wears them out and then jumps them because they mess up. So looks to me the admin. needs to listen to all the complaints and open their eyes and make a change. But, we are talking about JCHS who fired their head basketball coach after winning two District Championships. I quess the only way to have job security there is to loose!

Oh. Lawerence Co. ussually has a pretty good squad also.
So tell me what you think CHEER FANS!

:Cheerlead :Cheerlead :Cheerlead

Why don`t they recogonize as a sport! They are just as good as good as any of the others. You need alot of talent for this! I`ve seen JCHS cheer in Lexington a few weeks ago in competition and your right they could use a little more talent! They were not a squad, more like individuals! Should`nt this tell Sturgill something! She needs to do something next year and not bite more off than she can chew!

[bball fan]

did pikevilles bball team even make it to the all a tournament. i hate that we cant win the cheer awards at big tournaments because our bball team always sucks.


I too am a former cheerleader for Pikeville. They are talking about the All A region in game competition. Yes Pikeville's bball team was there. I think if you are a competing at state and national levels and winning them then there is no sense in losing the game competitions. It has nothing to do with the basketball team!!!!! It is not the basketball teams fault that they don't cheer good ballgames. You need to show everyone you are the best at all times!!!! When I competed waaaay back in the days our competitions didn't have different categorys and we always finished in the top 5 of the KAPOS state and most of time in the top 3, and we also won all of our district and region ingame competitions. FYI, Pikeville's basketball team hasn't also sucked. They had a few off years but who doesn't. Being a former cheerleader you should give our teams better support.

[MCHS_FBALL#14]

Halfstep, it looks by your aviator that you are a Paintsville fan so why do you even care what the cheerleading coach does at JCHS and JCMS? How do you know so much about their squad anyway?:shh: By the way, JCHS has a great coach in Starns. All the qualities that you find honorable in Ms. Bentley is what you will find in Starns. He also demands RESPECT AND DISIPLINE which was something the former coach lacked.

my sister still cheers. i do give our teams support, yet it is hard to do so since i no longer live in the area. i can't do anything about how they cheer in ballgames. i have encourged them alot in the past few years and try to make it to practices when i am in town. Since you are a former cheerleader, you cheered under mrs. stone. you should probably be expressing your concerns to her.

And i apologize for using "suck" when it comes to the basketball team, but we arent exactly what you would call great. The boys work very hard, but some times they just dont have it. with bart in there now, i expect them to get much better.

[CaptianAmericia]

PIKEVILLE is the elite group look over the years hard work and great sponsors.

[Basketballfan]

Congradulations to SF's cheerleading squad for winning the 15th region Class A Championship and 1st place in the Class A State In-Game Competiton and for finishing 3rd in the Class A Competition or i think that is what it was called... But Sf really hasnt had any experience in competing but gettin third place is really good and I look for them to become better and better each year, but I think Pikeville is a good squad too! Goodluck to all 15th region Cheerleading Squads!

[EKYMAMA]

After watching the events today, the JCHS girls are in great need of leadership. From what I have seen, all of the other squads were heads above JC. God knows I love and support these girls more than anything. But, there appeareance alone was substandard. The girls just didn`t seem to have the glow and appearance of the other squads. All the other squads appeared to be more perky and more focused. I just hate to see the girls and parents go through the $$s it cost to go down there and be one of the only KY schools to not represent. These girls work so hard all year long yet for nothing! They go down year after year and come back with the same results. Just a nice vacation! These girls need someone who wants more than just a vacation! I know that many people view this from the JC area and, I am NOT putting the girls down what so ever. But, when the basketball, football and baseball teams didn't produce to the standards that you expected, changes were made. So why make these girls suffer year in and year out? You have some of the best female cheerleader athelets in Kentucky attending your school, you wouldn't settle for second with the boys sports , so why settle with below second with the cheerleaders! I just hate to see our girls go down there and come back year after year with such disappointment. They deserve better than that! I lam proud of you girls for all of your hard work. Congrats JC for a job well done!

omg pvillecheeralum u r so jealous that ther r squads better than ur little old pikeville squad and that dont take much talent 2 be better than because from wat i hav seen they need alot of help...yeh mayb they can do back hand springs...fullls and all of that other stuff but it gets kind of boring jus 2 c a bunch of cheerleaders doing them everytime they get out on the floor and from my prospective that doesnt make a good cheerleading squad 2 do the same ol same ol thing ovr and ovr again cuz most cheerleaders can do all of that.:rock: :rock: :served: :rock: :rock:

Well, I must say that you are right. I just received a few calls from some people down there and they concur with everything you just said. I was also told by them that out of all the schools from Kentucky that they were the only ones to not make it past the first round. I hate that for the girls. They worked their tails off all season long. I checked out a few pics on another thread and at www.varsity.com (http://www.varsity.com) . They looked as if they had just got out of bed. LOL!! At least they had sun shine down there unlike us. LOL!! Pikeville and Graves looked like they were ready to represent. I also agree with your words on fixing things.

Well according to the 15th region All "A" Classic held at ACHS the order of top 3 squads went like this.........
1.SF
2.Shelby Valley
3.Allen Central........this was a shock but awesome job girls its about time u showd p-burg who is dominate.....

[catsfan072]

in the All 'A' competiton it was SF on top followed by either Paintsville or BL and then AC took 3rd

ac rebel chick in every thread you keep changing the order squads recieved in the All A Classic, which is it? Also Prestonsburg has never been and will never be in the All "A" Classic because they are 2A so nobody showed Pburg who is "dominate."

[Pirate Pal]

This thread is about the entire 15th region...not the All "A", which the entire 15th did not compete in. That isn't a very good argument to base your opinion on.

Very True! I agree that post was alittle off. But, There are some "A" schools out there that are better than some of the bigger schools and she named a couple.

I've been to competitions in the past and I can't honestly say that any of the 3 mentioned have been impressive to me. Maybe this year will be different. There is nothing that I love more than a great competition between squads. It is so much more exciting when every squad brings their best material on the floor. I wish that every squad from the 15th could go to State and show great talent.

Well, I have seen SF a couple of times and I thought that they looked pretty good during their in game cheer. They have improved quite abit over the last couple of years IMO. PCC looked pretty good also.

omg pvillecheeralum u r so jealous that ther r squads better than ur little old pikeville squad and that dont take much talent 2 be better than because from wat i hav seen they need alot of help...yeh mayb they can do back hand springs...fullls and all of that other stuff but it gets kind of boring jus 2 c a bunch of cheerleaders doing them everytime they get out on the floor and from my prospective that doesnt make a good cheerleading squad 2 do the same ol same ol thing ovr and ovr again cuz most cheerleaders can do all of that.:rock: :rock: :served: :rock: :rock:

How many NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS have you won? :#1:

[corndog23]

i love cheerleaders.....they are all great in my book.:mad:

[WandaST]

Well I`ve made it back! I really feel sorry for JCHS they had no chance. The other squads were more advanced and more well dressed, something has got to change! They were the only school from KY that didn`t advance on. Better luck next year!:rock:

Your facts are not correct. There were other schools from Kentucky that did not make it to the next round. I actually was there and spoke with some lovely young ladies from Somerset, KY who did not make it to the next round. That is not the point. You say you are not wanting to hurt the girls,,and you wish them nothing but the best???? BOLOGNA! It seems to me only a mean spirted person would write something like that. I'm glad you are not part of the JCHS competitiion squad.

We are little off subject here people. This thread is about 15th region. There is a thread about nationals. So take it over there.

[Cheer Fan]

What about Magoffin?? I have not heard what they have...as far as gymnastics and stunts?? anyone know what to expect this weekend??

[cheer_leader]

pikeville is great

[catsfan072]

So it looks like this for Kapos..

Small 2 1/2- Pikeville and SV
Medium 2 1/2- Pburg, SF, and JC

and the rest is the same?



Sorry I posted this in the wrong thread!!

[top-of-the-key]

this thread was started as best cheerleading squads in the 15th- not best Kapos Cheerleading Squads-as in competition- and there is a difference. I do believe if i remember correctly that both South Floyd and Shelby Valley placed above Pikeville- in the All "A"- which is mainly game situations. so the issue is- what r cheerleaders for? leading their crowd at games- or working souly on a routine to compete in things such as Nationals and Kapos.

[belfrytumbler07]

I honestly think Belfry Varisty will give the other squads a run for their money. Everyone thinks that Belfry won't do as well without there boys, but I've seen the routine..instead of stepping down..the squad as taken 2 steps forward. Just think competitions in 2 days.. and Im excited to see what Belfry will pull off at Regional's..Belfry comes through everytime..remember that..:wenumber1

[belfryfan]

[B] its sad to think how everyone has just forgotten about belfry (varsity)?! Belfry varsity is about the best squad all around that there is in the district.. i mean c'mon, tumbling is -amazing- and there mounts, probably couldn't be beat.. face the facts kids, bhs varsity-- has it all.. and just because the boys aren't there this year, doesn't mean that they have fell into pieces, because thats most definetly not the case!! and they still do have one boy, whose tumbling in itself is more than enough to make up for the missing boys =) so there ya have it. i'm guessing its obvious that i have faith in this squad, but i've seen this squad, and they are gonna bring the competetion up a level!! -GOOD LUCK-

what r cheerleaders for? leading their crowd at games- or working souly on a routine to compete in things such as Nationals and Kapos.

That is like asking why do we have basketball or football teams. The squads can do whatever they want. if they dont want the pressure of competition they can focus only on in game. Cheerleading started out as leading the crowd at games but it has become so much more.

are you serious? come down to uca nationals in orlando, florida, sometime... ive been before then you can make your decision on what cheerleaders are for after you've seen some of the best squads in the country and then you can make your judgement on pikeville and i doubt they care about winning a game cheering tournament over bigger things that you obviously have no experience to

oh and yes this is best cheerleading squads in the 15th thread i dont think it said best game cheering squads in the 15th it said generally best cheerleading squads so that means in anything games or competitions so yes pikeville is the best and just because they didnt win the all ''a" game situation doesnt mean anything i do believe they won the class "a" state cheerleading competition so there you go and you talk about nationals and kapos like there nothing when really there a lot bigger deal than you think

[BelfryBabe]

Who cares about the all "a". Not all the squads in the 15th competed in that competition. There is a lot of good squads out there that did not compete in that all "a" thing so its no big deal, unlike Kapos or State on the other hand. You take some of the best squads and judge them and who ever wins that is apperantly the best in their category.

[ballfan87]

What happened to Lawrence Co's Squad?? These girls as middle schoolers were 3 time state champs and competed in National competitions. I believe these girls should be in about 10-12th grade now:Cheerlead

[BAYPC CHEERBABE]

all teams can have a bad year i think that as long as everyone is giving 100% they are all winners.

[luvcheer]

Every situation is not as important to some as to others. I believe there are two types of cheerleaders, game and competition. Some excel in one or the other and some in both. Pikeville sometimes does not excel in games because of upcoming competitions. They practice 3-4 hours everyday before competitions and basically they save it for the competition. They may not tumble so much on the gym floor and not do as many jumps but that doesn't mean they are not capable. As far as Class A state, every Class A school has the opportunity to go. So get in there and get your feet wet. And as far as Belfry, they competed against no one at KAPOS, so the true judge will be at the state level. I think in district and Region games you will see Pikeville at their true best. And they will make a good showing at State as well. Good Luck to everyone!

[luvcheer]

This is to triplethreat. My daughter cheered on Pikeville's National championship squad and believe me when I tell she is one of the best cheerleaders in the country.&nbsp; She went on to cheer for the University of Louisville and since you know everything I'm assuming you know they have won 9 National Collegiate Titles.
My daughter has cheered in 3 of those and was a team member on three National Champion college allstar teams.&nbsp; And she won Best Cheerleader in NCA two years running in which she did a 2 1/2 minute routine by herself.&nbsp; Several of the other girls on Pikeville's National Championship Squad went on to cheer at Nationally ranked programs. And just because you went to Nationals doesn't give you 401K on cheerleading.&nbsp; And I don'y know if you cheer or who you cheer for but why doesn't your team participate. Participating and working hard is a part of being champions. You have to pay to enter ANY competiton, including KAPOS, so get off the people pay to go there.&nbsp; There is no amount of money that can buy you a National Championship because if that were the case Pikeville could do it every year because they definately have the money. Don't disrespect peolple for their accomplishments.
