Great Job!

I've been to two high school football games this year: Plano v. Irving MacArthur and Plano West v. Flower Mound Marcus. I have a niece in one of the bands and a nephew on one of the teams. I've witnessed some very good cheering (and seen some not so good football - odd for Plano schools!). In fact my wife, a former cheerleader, was impressed as well.
The Plano Senior High Cheerleaders look and cheer like a college squad. The girls cheer, tumble, and stunt and the boys run the flags, stunt with the girls, tumble, and chant with megaphones. In fact, the boys do a lot of the old fashion cheers to the crowd (the ones we actually know). The whole atmosphere with the student section, band, drill team, and cheer squad is something to watch. The entire 4th quarter (when Plano had a number of chances to win) these kids never missed a beat. Jaydon McCullough is lucky to have these kids behind him!
At Plano West, the game atmosphere is not quite up to the Plano circus, but it is much improved over the past years. While they don't have as many kids - maybe 10 or 11 girls and 5 or 6 boys, they work hard too. I don't remember seeing boys before this year at a Plano West game. So maybe the Plano West machine is beginning to rise to the level of Plano, East, and Allen. Those huge blue WEST flags are really nice! And, those boys really worked the student section with their rally cheers and Wolfpack yells. When I read the thread about cheerleading I just had to brag on our Plano kids a bit.
