At least you wouldn't have to worry about traveling

For all you avid bloggers out there that keep up with the CIK blogs... just a few days ago Bryan wrote a blog about random stuff.... I love it. Especially the part about the cheerleaders taking over for the girls basketball teams.

Oh Bryan... I have seen the infamous cheerleading pyramid that reaches the rim that you speak of. It's actually pretty funny!

The Garden City Cheerleaders do a build, (which is what has replaced the pyramid... FYI Bryan) it's three builds actually.

The first, a cheerleader on another's shoulders.... The second, a cheerleader in a low build.... the third, a cheerleader in a high build, (sorry to all those cheerleaders who are reading this laughing because I don't know the technical terms of all your builds)

The ball starts in the hands of the girl on the shoulders. It's then passed to the girl in the low build. Finally, the girl in the highest build gets the ball. It just so happens the highest build is only two feet from the basket. The cheerleader then proceeds to "dunk" the ball.

Oh... and the best part.... The crowd goes wild! (said in a fake announcers voice.)

It takes approximately one minute to put these builds up and to pass the ball to the highest girl.
In 32 minutes of regulation... if each team of cheerleaders got equal time (16 minutes) and lets say they make every shot.... the score could be 32-32. Not to mention the most dunks ever made in a high school girls game. But, considering the Garden City girls basketball team only put up 36 points last night... I'd say the cheerleaders could give them a run for their money.

Of course there's that little thing called Defense. That could get ugly if trying to do it in builds. However, with pass, pass, shoot... at least you wouldn't have to worry about traveling.
