So maybe i am missing something. I love some teal and am obsessed with their music so like a normal cheer fan i wad looking for videos and where they had/were competing. In the process I saw they had competed twice and had lost both times to greensboro allstars a small sr 5 team that seems to be relatively unknown or at least not talled aboit much. So of course i looked for a video of this team with no luck. So i am wondering #1 is greensboro allstars a new contender in small 5 seeing as they have beaten teal not once but twice and grand champ at the comp this past weekend in nc from results page or #2 is teal really not up to the normal talent of teal and has cea coming in really hurt them that bad. (Which i am praying is not the case!)
I've only seen Teal in person at the exhibition so these impressions are from coaches and other parents! Greensboro does have a strong SM SR 5 this year. Their tumbling is much improved most likely due to the new tumbling coach. Most importantly however is Greensboro hit their routines at both competitions and Teal did not. Teal's routine is capable of being very competitive but they have to hit it outside of practice.
As far as the talent, the struggle has been more about the loss of graduating seniors this past year. In addition several of those seniors were seasoned competitors that had been on Teal for 4 and 5 years. Obviously Teal is very young but they also have a lot of talent. I expect not hitting at competitions has more to do with the experience of the kids and getting used to the pressure of being on a recognized team. If they can pull off this year then they will continue to be an immensely strong team for many more years to come. As far as being a strong competitor against Orange? Well is anyone a strong competitor against Orange right now? Haha!
