ESDAA

The ESDAA tournament was hosted at Lexington School this past weekend. Both teams did a great job! The basketball team earned 3rd, and the cheerleaders placed 2nd. Five different people are promising pictures from the tournament, but have only received these thus far. Will post more as soon we get them!

This pyramid was really cool -
It went up in a progression of three stunts before this final result.

Shanika did a FABULOUS job in the individual jump competition!
She came in 2nd Place!
The cheerleaders were a little disappointed with placing 2nd, but they should not be at all! We already talked about the need of ESDAA to redo their scoresheets used by the judges.... The teams are being judged by very old-fashioned means, and Lexington doesn't get "credit" for their level of difficulty and the advanced stunts they perform.

But with their 2nd Place trophy they also brought home a special award for the team's dance (IT WAS GREAT!) as well as the Spirit Award. Bottom line? They did a kick-ass job! Maria loves this group of kids, and is truly satisfied and extremely proud of their performance. Looking forward to doing a couple of regular tournaments with hearing teams in March!
