The 2008 UCA High School Cheerleading Championship was held in Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida on February9th & 10th, 2008.  There were teams from more than 40 States and nearly 400 total teams at the Championship.   This is the largest and most competitive High School Cheerleading event in the country and it was truly an honor for the teams to compete against some of the top teams from across the United States.

JV - Placed 8th in the Semifinal Round for Large JV

        The Jr. Varsity squad competed in the Large Jr. Varsity SEMIFINAL round on Saturday, February 9th in Disney's Hollywood Studios at the MGM Theme Park.  All of the girls were VERY excited and ready to put on a great performance and represent NA well.   Once the music started in the arena, the girls SHINED and had their best performance of the season!   They hit all of their tumbling, stunts and pyramids and the girls and the coaches couldn't have been prouder.  They couldn't have performed better and every girl left the floor with their head held high.  It was a tremendous ending to an already GREAT season for the JV. 

Varsity - Placed 12th in the Nation in the Final Round for Super Varsity

        The Varsity Squad competed in the Super Varsity division on Sunday, February10th at Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex.   They were very much looking to improve upon their placing in 2007 and had a goal of advancing to the coveted Final round.  The girls started in the SEMIFINAL Round for all Super Varsity teams -- which was comprised of 40 total teams.  Of those 40 teams, only 20 teams would advance to the FINAL round for Super Varsity.  The NA Varsity girls had an OUTSTANDING performance and the coaches' knew that they did everything they could to move on to the next round.   The girls anxiously awaited the announcement of the finalists and when they heard "North Allegheny High School" announced---- a burst of emotions came over all of the girls and the coaches.  It was a very exciting moment and the girls knew that their initial goal of making it to finals came true!  The girls then had to prepare for their 2nd performance.

        After the emotions settled a bit, the girls knew they had to focus for the evening's performance.  The Super Varsity division is the most competitive division in the Championship and it is the "finale" to the weekend.  So, the girls knew that they had to put on a great show to keep up with the other finalists.   When the girls took the floor around 9:00pm that night --- they performed even better than their first round!  They hit a great routine with a ton of energy and excitement.   They received their highest scores of the entire season and left the floor feeling proud of their accomplishments.

        The final awards were announced in descending order and the girls' excitement built as every name was announced.   Exceeding our expectations, the NA Varsity team was officially named 12th in the Nation in the Super Varsity division.  They have proven to be a dominant force in the future!  It was a wonderful way to finish the competitive cheer season and send-off the 14 seniors on the team with a very positive and memorable trip.   It was a very exciting and proud day for NA!

NA CHEERLEADERS ARE HEADED TO FLORIDA!

The North Allegheny Cheerleaders continued to shine at the UCA Allegheny Regional Championship in Slippery Rock this weekend.  Varsity won first, JV won second, so both squads qualify and are going to the UCA National Cheerleading Championship held at Walt Disney World in February.

            The Varsity squad sustained another injury early in the day, but was able to regroup.  Their routine was so well executed that no one could tell it had been changed that day.  After seeing today’s performance, there is no doubt the squad has the skill and creativity to do well at Nationals.

            The JV squad worked all week to prepare for their largest competition to date.  No one knew what to expect from the other JV squads.  This competition attracted many schools that they had never seen perform.  The young ladies did everything as planned then had to wait to see how the other schools did.  When the scores were tallied, JV finished second.  They know what they need to do to succeed in Florida, and they are ready to go to work.

            The squads will be busy with the start of basketball season.  There next competition is at the Keystone State Games on January 13 at Penn State.
