    Have any of you guys seen the dance-team performances for schools in the SWAC? My God, the only thing missing is a pole.

    In less than a decade, if any of us are still covering HS sports, we'll be covering "varsity dance."

    One thing that has started around these parts in our districts is this - cheerleaders must be made available to cheer for just as many girls sports as boys sports.

    So the football team gets 'em - so does girls soccer. Ditto with boys and girls basketball.

    It is equal.

    Man, it really sucks when the JV dance game goes into overtime.

    I can only imagine the story.

    "The JV dance team pulled out the victory with an excellent dance in the Samba category."

    "That booty-shaking camp we attended back in the summer really paid off today," said coach Susie Peppster, brushing off glitter from a celebratory team hug after the official announcement.
