Staff Writer This Saturday, the Lakeridge Cheer Teams had their last competition at Tualatin High School before state, the biggest competition of the year. Spectators love watching the team perform because they always smile and make viewers so proud to be a Pacer. First up the Lakeridge youth team. They are so cute and very talented. Though they might be small, they are very mighty. The performers are all on time and sharp with their motions. The team all knows what they are supposed to do. Team members don't look at one another and they have really pretty, sharp, and clean stunts that never fail. Then comes the cheer part of the routine. The team is loud and even though they might run out of breath they always keep a smile on their faces. After the youth performance, it's time for the junior team to steal the floor. Once again don't be fooled by their kindness because when they step on the floor it's all business. The team is sharp and hit those motions on the right counts. They smile and yell at the top of their lungs. The team hits their stunts at the right counts and never drop them. They are in their right formations and know what they are supposed to do. The squad improves every week and this week was their best performance yet. The coach was overheard saying, “ you guys did great and I couldn't be more proud of you guys.” Image by sportingnews.com By Carson Mike
Staff Writer With the exciting ending to the NFL season two different styles of Qbs are ready to clash in the best game of them all. The Super Bowl. As the carolina panthers and Denver Broncos get ready to face off two Qbs are the main highlight of this game. Going into the playoffs The Panthers QB Cam Newton definitely takes the advantage as he threw for 35 Touchdowns and only 10 interceptions and has a new style of play at the Qb position that works well with the Panthers organization. Even Peyton manning the Denver Broncos Qb be is giving him credit. “There is no doubt in my mind he will be MVP”.( ESPN) But on the other side is a Qb that has been suffering all year having one of his worst performances in his NFL career . This man's name is peyton manning. He threw only 9 touchdowns and 17 ints and was even benched for the remainder of the season after throwing 4 interceptions in one game. But it's not all bad for the 39 year old Qb after his team gets a first round bye despite his performance but was able to finally bring himself together and started against the Steelers and helped get the win with an amazing performance moving on to the conference championship where he once again posted unbelievable numbers helping them complete their journey to the super bowl. On the Carolina Panthers side Newton has been rolling through the playoffs beating any team in their way! In the Divisional playoff game against the seattle seahawks they were able to get out to a 31 point lead. Though Russell Wilson almost hosted a comeback the Carolina defense was too much with a final score of 24-31 Panthers. But that was not the case a the Panthers blew out the Arizona cardinals beating them 49-15. Though these may be two completely different Qbs, they both have one goal in mind: to win the Super Bowl. |
