Community...ours is pretty special. Last night's basketball game at good ole MCS. was amazing. The bleachers were full of boisterous fans who were there to support a really good bunch of guys...and their coaches. There were fans who were barely months old to those who could barely climb to their seats....all with smiles and the best of intentions to cheer on their home team...and cheer they did. I'm an old cheerleader. I hung up my pom poms over four decades ago but I think I could still out-do these cheerleaders...I know Title 9 did nothing for the sport of cheerleading in small rural districts....but holy cow....no smiles, little organization, and mouths that may serve some of them well should they decide to become truckers....(no offense truckers.) I'm pretty sure that if B.J. Parker were hovering anywhere remotely close to MCS the last few games, she didn't stick around long. There's a pretty vociferous group of guys (and gals) that picked up the slack and did a great job. # 1 fan, Todd's Mom (Tammy Langtry), was the official WAVE runner and I even saw some burly, ref monger men mouthing the words to some cheers. Bottom line is, the cheerleaders need to practice, find some leadership, add some testosterone to the mix and do their jobs. I really hate to bash any group but pitiful comes to mind with this one. There are a few gals that "get it" but the majority need to brush up on Cheerleading 101 get their act together for the Arena on Saturday.
On a kinder note: Congrats to Dylan Powers on achieving 1010 points scored at a sport he loves. Congrats to Coach Mulvaney on his 100th win and how much fun is a win like that on your birthday. It was also one of the refs birthday and we're sincerely hoping his cards were filled with cash to buy those new glasses he so desperately needs!
See you at the Binghamton Arena on Saturday afternoon. Go Devils:-)
