| BYC STAFF Brockton March 22, 2016 11:47:46 AM Entry ID: 2072310 | It began at an NCA Cheer camp back in 1954 where one team stood out among the rest. It wasn't for their talents, rather for their attitudes. They couldn't keep up with the others. They weren't coordinated or technically skilled. But they were the backbone of the camp they were always the first to arrive in the morning to class and the last to leave, they were always cheering everyone else one, they always had the best attitude and they worked great as a team. What they symbolized was far more than any display of technical skill or talent. They represented the pure essence at the very core of cheerleading they stood for spirit in every sense of the word. However, their spirited performance wasn't the kind the NCA scoring process recognized with a ribbon of excellence, a praise every other team would receive. Yet it was this team's vibrant, positive energy that bolstered the camp, a creed Lawerence "Herkie" Herkimer wanted to instill in the NCA. Knowing he couldn't just up and change the scoring and award process, "Herkie" was in a quandary. He quickly needed something to acknowledge the impact the team had on the others. In expressing his desire to the other instructors, "Herkie" spontaneously reached for a twig off a tree and declared it the official "Spirit Stick". He knew that as awesome as the team was, they wouldn't care if they were handed a simple stick. The NCA "Spirit Stick" has evolved, from a simple tree limb, being cut, painted and dried in Herkimer's garage....to a red, white, and blue wooden dowel, now manufactured by the thousands. It's now an integral part of summer camp honors given to teams that exemplify the Spirit as defined by NCA. A first place ribbon isn't complete without a "Spirit Stick". |

There are little hands all eager to do anything you do And a little girl who's dreaming of the day she'll be like you. You're the little girl's idol, you're the wisest of the wise. In her little mind about you no suspicions ever rise. She believes in you devoutly, holds all that you say and do She will say and do, in your way, when she grows up like you. There's a wide eyed little girl who believes you're always right And her eyes are always opened, and she watches day and night. You're setting an example every day in all you do, For the little girl who's waiting To be a cheerleader just like you. |

| BYC Staff Brockton September 20, 2013 4:31:09 PM Entry ID: 2041628 | We stand together in support of our team united, committed, one motive, one dream. What we do is different unlike all the rest, but somehow the same when we all try our best. We don't use a bat, a ball, or a net, just determination, muscle, endurance, and sweat. We cheer because we love the thrill of the game, to motivate the crowd--nothing else is the same. So don't call us ditzy, and don't call us cute, lose the misconceptions, seek out the truth. Our spirit is endless, our hearts filled with pride, please look past the stereotype and see the athlete inside. |

It has been a great 10th year and I'm looking forward to many more years to come. I hope :) To the All-Star teams, you did a fantastic job and made us very proud this season. You got better and better each competition. I simply can't say it enough, great job. Thanks to our regular season cheerleaders, for your committment and determination of simply completing the program. It's a long one and you did it! Your smiling faces cheered me up many days when I was down. Thank you to our supportive parents for all of your well wishes, love, understanding, services and simply believing in me as I continue to push this dream. Heather...you work behind the scenes never went unnoticed. You kept up with this wonderfully, and you are super talented. I can never stop thanking you and Brittany for always showing your support endlessly. Even Betsy, for helping with the lettering. Who sews that fast? Thank you. My two daughters, Keyra and Jassy, you have been a true support, confidants, and great coaches. You've seen all my ups, downs and crazy moments....to that I say thank you for always putting your best foot forward and doing what is necessary. "Coach Laurie" (Jassy's alter ego..lol) you rock babes! Great routine and can't wait to see what you do next season. Keyra words can't express how much I'm going to miss you in working with this program and your super laid back charisma. Go make us proud and bring your butt back to help :) Carla....my ambassador in this journey. Wow. Hats go off to you my dear. I am driven to see this program reach its' full potential and you have been my "Shari" (insider) when I truly wanted to give up. Thank you....my sister, my friend and my #1 cheerleader. I'm getting all teary eyed here...lol so I better just say.....thank you all for a wonderful 10 year journey! Old and new cheerleaders, you have been the wind beneath my wing. |
