Last night, the Clark Clan, Aunt Jennifer and most of the substantial Robbins family made the trek out to Millbrook High School in Winchester, VA to watch the BDHS Tigers successfully defend their VHSL Northwestern District crown in competition cheer. Kellie's team had breezed through the regular season competition and before they took the floor, they had already earned the right to represent their district in the Regional Championships next week. Despite this guarantee, it was nice to add yet another District title to the wall of honor in the school gym.
The real news of the meet was the noticeable improvement by the second place team, the Warriors of Sherando. They had finished a distant second to the Tiger in both of the regular season events, but clearly showed up last with their game faces on. This was clearly noted in this article which appeared in today's The Winchester Star. Clearly Brentsville's road to the Regionals just got a little tougher, but that's how it is supposed to be.
Having said that, a clear round of applause is due Kellie and her teammates on another great year of competition.
Tracy has made several efforts to get some publicity for the reigning 2007 Class AA champions and due entirely to her efforts, the Prince William County News and Messenger sent a reporter to cover last night's events. I had submitted a short article to several of the local papers to make sure that Brentsville's defeat of the all of the larger PWC AAA schools did not go unnoticed, and they are planning a bigger article at the end of the month as they increase their coverage of BDHS's road to States in 2008. This morning, a condensed version of what I submitted along with one of my team pictures made the paper announcing the 2008 All-County champions. Today, Tracy sent a sample of team action shots from my portfolio for use in the article due later this month.
