Another "memory" from my day.... when I was a freshman I cheered varsity. Not JV or Girls varsity but VARSITY.... Our sponsor made us do Jane Fonda (areobics workout) EVERY practice, we ran 10 laps around the gym, sprints, and lifted weights!! ALL before we practiced.... We were in better shape than most ballteams!! LOL... another thing, we ran laps for every mistake we made during a ballgame. Sponsors now wouldn't even think of making the girls do something like this. We all worked HARD because we LOVED [U] what we did... Preparing for competition consisted of working on your floor cheer, polishing off your sideline cheer (preferrably with position switching) and your dance routine. I can remember having practice for 5 hours a day many times!!!! ALL because I LOVED what I did!!! and OH>... do you remember Pikeville Newspaper picking cheerleader of the week??? I actually have mine from the week I was chosen.... That is back in the day when it was called Pikeville News Express!!! LOLOL.....
