Xtreme Spirit Championship

Today we competed our last local/home competition. The next one we will be hitting the road to PCB and possibly Nashville. Today was lots of fun tho! We competed against our biggest rival, and came in 1st place for the second week in a row now. We had a drop and the other team hit flawlessly, however, our routine is maxed out for our level so that gives us a great advantage!

It was another wonderful weekend for the High Fly All Stars!

The Week Of Lasts..

This past week has brought lots of "last times"

Example one, my last time to try out for cheerleading at my high school.

This first picture was taken when I was in the 8th grade at made Junior Varsity cheerleading for my high school

This picture was taken last week as the 6 of us tried out for Varsity our Senior year 

Example 2, watching a very close family friend in her last elementary school pageant.

This one is like my baby sister. I have known her since she was 2 and I was 7. Now she's a beautiful 12 year old about to start junior high. I have watched her every year since she was in Kindergarten. She is absolutely remarkable. She has won every pageant she has ever been in. 

Not only is she beautiful on the outside but on the inside as well.

I am so blessed to get to watch her develop into this amazing young woman. 

Congratulations Mattie!

Example 3, I compete in my last home competition this afternoon. 

High Fly has truly been a blessing to me. I have learnt so much not only cheerleading wise but life skills has well and I will forever and always be thankful for this year. 

I have also learned that God NEVER closes one door without opening another. 

This was our very first time to hit the mat as a team. We've lost some and gained some. 

But as the year is quickly approaching an end, I have met some of the most amazing people ever. 

Now I have to get ready to compete! Another post to come tonight or tomorrow! :)

Exciting News!

So my freshman and sophomore year I cheered at my high school but this past year, junior year, I cheered all stars. Well, we had tryouts this past week and I decided to go for it. And I made it :)
So welcome to my Senior Year!

Tatum also came back too! 

We have 20 girls on our squad this year

3 Freshmen

------------------

Ready for an amazing year with some awesome girls! 

I am already excited! 

We picked out our new uniform and camp clothes today!

Themed Practice and ECC Red Fox Championship

This Saturday we had a themed practice. We had to get with our elite stunt group and pick out something for all of us to do! And here they all are...

The Princess group

 Superhero Group

 Thug Life group

 The nerd group

 Duck Dynasty group 

And we were the monsters! 

 Abbie and her beautiful needle!

We chose monsters as our theme because the competition we went to the next day asked our team Relentless to also compete as a level 4.2 team 

Level 4 stunts, level 2 tumbling

They want to bring a Worlds Bid event to Birmingham next year and needed a certain amount of entries so we were one of the teams asked to do it. 

Our new name was Monster! :)

-------------------------------------------------------------

So after our crazy morning practice we rested up and got back up the next morning ready to compete, but not once like normally but TWO times. 

We first competed our level 4.2 team Monster, then we had about a 2 hour break before we came back for our level 3 team Relentless

During our down time, me and my Mama went to Cottontails (a craft show) next door. One of her friends had given her free tickets. 

We managed to scan the whole show and eat in perfect timing. We may, just may, have picked up a couple of things while we were there.

I more like to go to placed like this to get ideas of stuff that I could make for nearly half the price or more. 

And trust me, I did just that.

But I did find these. 

They looked like just come cute keychains that I could make when I first went and looked at them but after looking at them closer I realized that these were Vera Bradley patterns! 

And if you know me, you know I am completely obsessed with VB.

So I had to get them. The lady actually just orders the VB fabric and makes her own stuff, most keychains and lanyards tho.

The small was $4 and large was $8

 I also got this adorable Southern Belle shirt. I loved the owl!

We had a little bit of time after we got back before warm ups so we kind of chilled in the back away from the noise.

I seriously have some of the greatest team mates anyone could ask for!

And lemme just tell you, having guys on your squad is awesome because they become like big brothers to you and will kick butt if someone messes with you! 

This would be my wonderful best friend :)

So our Monster routine went amazing, and then two hours later we competed with Relentless and that went amazing as well. We did have a drop with both routines but do not think we didn't rock the rest of the routine cause we did!

We just went out there and had tons of fun. Our energy was up & judges hate more than anything for a team to come out and have no energy. 

It's little things like that, that can and will make the difference between first and second place.

In the end, we ended up taking FIRST place home for BOTH performances. All of our jaws hit the floor when we weren't called out as 2nd place. 

Because if you know of our other competitions we always manage to come in 2nd, no matter if we hit or not. But we brought it today! So proud of us!

 I made a new friend this week. Her name is Tiffany! She filled in for one of our girls who hurt her wrist and is trying to get well before our Nashville competition! :) 

I hope she just stays and finishes our the season with us, shes so sweet!

^ See my knee brace?! I have Patella Femoral Syndrome.

Yes, I know. I am always hurt. 

This beauty ended up coming home with me this weekend! 

I also wanted to give our whole program a big CONGRATULATIONS!

Every High Fly team brought home either 1st or 2nd place today! 

18 first place wins

4 second places

and 

3 grand champs!
