snowed in at number two...


Yes, it's true! At our competition at Jordan High School we [Southern Utah coaches] were called to the announcers table on Saturday at about 7pm and told we could not travel home that night. Bummer. Thankfully the Country Inn & Suites had enough rooms to keep us warm until we could leave Sunday morning.
As for the competition we did well: 1st in Kick, 2nd in Prop and Dance, and 4th in Military. We were really disappointed [confused and mad] with the 4th place. We at least deserved 2nd or 3rd, but what do you do - that's the sport! It's probably good for the girls not to get to confident with placing high in all the routines. Logan beat us. They placed 2nd at State last year, but I know we can beat them. In Prop we had a 2 point safety penalty for a girl stepping on a prop - without the penalty we would have had 1st!
Now for the 100% McCall moment: our "rival school" had made some accusations over the last week about our sportsmanship - or lack of - which is TOTALLY unfounded and untrue. HONESTLY. So... at awards we beat them by a lot in Dance, they beat us by a little in Military, and we were certain they had beat us in Prop, like they had the competition before. When they announced Cedar as 2nd and hadn't announced CV at all, we assumed they had 1st. WRONG. Emery won. And when they announced it I JUMPED out of my seat, shot my hands in the air and yelled "YEAH!" Then dropped back to my seat as fast as possible. How embarrassing! The CV parents were right behind us. Oh well, that's the game right!
