Cheers to you

As a former cheerleader, I'm happy to say there's lots going on in the Archdiocese regarding cheerleading.

Congrats go out to Father Judge's cheerleaders who took second place at the 2009 UCA High School Nationals which took place a couple weeks ago in Florida. They competed in the super varsity division, as did Archbishop Ryan. Cardinal O'Hara also competed in the competition in the large varsity division.

Check out their routines HERE. Performances are listed by squad in alphabetical order.

The All-Catholic Cheerleading Competition will be held March 8 at noon at Archbishop Carroll. High school squads from throughout the Archdiocese will compete.

Lastly, I'd like to mention Cardinal Dougherty's cheerleaders. On Feb. 26, before departing for the All-Star Cheer & Dance Competition held in Walt Disney World, the team of 22 wore special shirts they created in support of the Philadelphia Police Department. And, in honor of the recent tragedy of fallen Philadelphia Police Officer John Pawlowski, the young women are dedicating this special competition to those police officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty. What a nice gesture. Good luck girls!
