Pick of the Week: Week 5

7 October 2009 No Comment

The DocSpirit.com Pick of the Week for Week 5 goes to two heavy hitters in the 5A division; defending 5A State Champs Mill Creek and Duluth’s Grand Champion Grayson Golden Rams.

The DocSpirit.com Pick of the Week is sponsored by UProAV.

Mill Creek:

Here’s what stood out about this routine:

  • Nice opening with the kick-double basket, seven cartwheel-tucks and the five roundoff-handspring fulls coming to the front
  • Super clean jump sequences.
  • I love the cartwheel transition into the stunts.
  • The stunt sequence showcases some great body position control.
  • 5 Single Base stunt groups at hands.
  • Nice high cheer basket.
  • 7 fulls total, including two coming right down the front.
  • 2 Kick double baskets into a great transitional pyramid.

Grayson High:

Here’s what stood out about this routine:

  • Clean transitions.  They put on a CLINIC with their transitions.  They move so well into and out of positions.
  • Love their tumbling/jumps arrangement in the opening. They open with squad backhandspring tucks then pike tucks finishing with most of the squad doing triple toe-backs
  • MONSTER single base stunts hitting all kinds of body positions, even while rotating
  • They throw a ton of tumbling with a seemingly endless amount of fulls.  This is accomplished with a great mix of timing, spacing and formations.
  • Great variety in their cheer with tumbling, motions and line/level changes.
  • Their pyramid is great, all the swinging and tic-tocs look great!
  • The dance has a ton of energy and some nice levels that add to the overall effect.
  • That final pyramid with the toss toe-touches into arabesque that rotates to heel stretches looks so clean and easy.
