Cheerleading Tryouts

The Davis girls have been trying out for Lexington cheerleading ever since I was entering the 7^th grade. I fell in love with Shannon “Coach” Canady while taking Creative Dance at LMS and knew instantly I wanted to be one of HER cheerleaders. I made c-team in  7^th grade and cheered until I graduated. I can honestly say that cheerleading helped me SANELY get through high school. When I think of high school: I think of cheerleading. When I think of my best friend: I think of cheerleading. When I think of my sweet Ryan playing football: I think of cheerleading. When I think of the Davis family of four at their best: I think of cheerleading. When I think of going to get a physical at the high school the week after making the team (arriving late and having to go in with the boys): I think of Jessica Weeks Yelton. And cheerleading.  :)

Fast forward a few years… Now my amazing baby sister decides she, too, wants to cheer. So what did we do (in our parent’s apartment in Houston, no doubt)? Learned the Ltown cheers and band dances, worked on jumps and perfected her tumbling. She made the team in 7^th grade and I became the c-team cheerleading coach. The.Best.Of.Both.Worlds. Teaching what I love to the little sis I love. Needless to say, my life has been surrounded with all things competitive cheer for the past 13 years. This brings me to the point of my post… this week Holley Girl tries out for cheerleading for her SENIOR YEAR… The VERY LAST TIME! Her talent, grace and love for the sport have astounded me over the past several years. I have loved every minute of watching her cheer and compete and will savor every moment of her upcoming senior year. 

Good luck this week, Holley!! I am so proud of who you are inside and out!! ENJOY your last week ever of cheerleading tryouts! I love you! :)
