This week the DocSpirit.com Picks of the Week go to Harrison High from the Woodstock Competition and Ola High from the Grayson Ramfest 2!

Thanks to CheerObsessions on YouTube and UProAV for the video footage!

Harrison High:

Here’s what stood out about this routine:

• They open with a TON of energy.  They’re moving all over the floor and doing it with precision!
• The 3 baskets look great!
• The 3-to-fulls coming to the front just punch the audience -and judges- right in the face*.  Great effect!
• The squad tumbling sequence is loaded!  The toe-backs are super clean and the backhandspring-tucks just punctuate things. Simply awesome.
• The transitions into the stunts look really clean and the following stunts are solid.  They use just enough flair to make the stunts stand out without sacrificing quality.
• The cheer looks great.  The level changes are sharp and the pyramid is executed with the same precision.
• Did I count 6 fulls?
• The jump sequence is TIGHT! Love it!
• The dance, like the opening, has soooo much going on! The level changes and formations are flat out hyperactive! That dance kicks!

*-trust me, it’s a good thing!

Ola High:

Here’s what stood out about this routine:

• Love the opening!! The 3-to-fulls, kick double basket and ripple tumbling all make for a fantastic visual!!
• Check out their cheer.  The stunts start with some rock-solid heel stretches and proceed to move through some great transitions! The words are perfect. You can hear the whole crowd saying “WE ARE OLA!”
• The pyramid has some equally great transitions.  It’s switching and spinning all over the place! Keeps the pace of the routine with the perfect blend of cleanliness and flash.
• The squad tumbling pattern that leads into the running tumbling is a great visual.
• The running tumbling is SUPER high energy. There is so much going on and the formations just add to the excitement.
• The stunt sequence is another set of rock-solid stunt and body positions.  The whole sequence is MONEY!
• The dance just looks like fun and the girls show it!
