Pep Squad!!

As I mentioned in my earlier post about school...8th grade is the year the kids can start being more involved in extra curricular activities. Chase decided last year that she really wanted to join the Pep Squad this year!! It's a tough schedule, she has practice everyday until 5pm and they have at least one game a week. Smokey Rd had their big Wildcat Kickoff (Open House) they introduced the Football players, Pep Squad, and Volleyball teams, the band played, and the Chorus sang!! So Chase came out with the Pep Squad and then had to run over to join the chorus! All the middle schools from Coweta county had a football jamboree at East Coweta High School a couple of weeks ago, Smokey Rd won both quarters they played and Chase did a great job cheering them on!! Our first game was this past Tuesday against Arnall Middle School, Chase was so excited, unfortuantely we ended up at the doctor's office that morning because Chase's foot was hurting so bad, she had pain shooting up her leg!! Thank goodness it was only a sprain, but it did put her on crutches and on the "cheerleader disabled list" Chase was very upset to have to miss out on cheering for the first official game, but better to sit out one game than the entire season!! Her foot is doing much better already and she hopes to cheer this week against Madras!! By the way, Smokey Rd has an excellent football team, they beat Arnall 22 - 0....Go Wildcats!!

These are some pictures from the Wildcat Kickoff Pep Squad and Chorus, from the Football Jamboree, and from the game against Arnall:

Here is Chase in her Game day Polo (they can't wear their uniforms to school, so this it what they wear on game day, so that they are still recognized at the pep squad members)

Chase has an exciting opportunity to go to Auburn and cheer during the half time show with the Auburn cheerleaders...That is closer to the end of September, so I will blog more about that later!
