It's possible. I lost five girls but I have two of my starters still from last year.

Our girls really stepped up this season. We tried to get through districts at the top. We not as happy because we're not No. 1, cause we always want to be No. 1. But we played this game like we're a No. 1, because we want to get ready for districts.

The girls are improving and growing with experience every time they step on the floor.

I'm pretty pleased. The girls played hard and they kept right at it ... they played right straight through to the end.

I told my girls if they played smart and Crandall tried to stall, they'd be playing right into our hands. Everything we did wrong during the first three quarters, we did right in the fourth. They killed us on the boards, but we got most of them back in the final quarter.

I see at least one injured cheerleader a day. It's from a combination of insufficient conditioning and dangerous routines. Girls fall from pyramids or land the wrong way on a jump. I think the injury risk in this sport is as high as football.
