How did Penn Yan Academy’s boys lacrosse team secure their 25th Sectional title. What factors contributed to their dominant performance in the Class D Championship. Why is Penn Yan considered a powerhouse in Section V lacrosse.
The Road to Championship Glory: Penn Yan’s 25th Sectional Title
Penn Yan Academy’s boys lacrosse team has once again proven their prowess on the field, clinching their 25th Sectional title in a commanding victory over Pal-Mac. This historic achievement cements their status as the most successful program in Section V lacrosse history. The Mustangs’ journey to the championship was marked by exceptional skill, unwavering determination, and a near-perfect season that left their opponents in awe.
A Dominant Performance in the Finals
The Class D Championship game, held on Penn Yan’s home turf, showcased the team’s superior talent and strategy. Despite Pal-Mac’s valiant efforts, the Mustangs emerged victorious with a decisive 16-2 win. This lopsided score reflects the gap in skill and execution between Penn Yan and their competitors in Class D this season.
Key Players and Standout Performances
Several Mustangs rose to the occasion during the championship game:
- Max Brodmann: Scored a season-high five goals
- Ayden Mowry: Continued his role as a leading attacker with four goals
- Mason Kuver: Led the defense with exceptional ball control and forced turnovers
- Griffin Emerson: Made eight crucial saves as goalkeeper
These standout performances, combined with the team’s overall cohesion, proved too much for Pal-Mac to overcome.
The Impact of COVID-19 on High School Lacrosse
While the pandemic has presented numerous challenges for high school athletics, it has also led to some unexpected benefits for teams like Penn Yan. How did COVID-19 protocols affect the Sectional tournament structure? The changes allowed higher-seeded teams to host matches throughout the tournament, giving Penn Yan a significant home-field advantage as the #1 seed.
This adjustment not only provided a familiar setting for the Mustangs but also allowed for a larger crowd of supporters. With restrictions recently eased, up to 500 spectators were permitted to attend the championship game, creating an electric atmosphere that undoubtedly fueled the team’s performance.
Penn Yan’s Dominance in Class D: A Season in Review
The Mustangs’ path to their 25th title was paved with impressive victories and near-flawless execution throughout the season. How did Penn Yan’s performance compare to their closest rivals?
Regular Season Highlights
While Marcus Whitman maintained a record close to Penn Yan’s for much of the season, their highly anticipated matchup resulted in a 10-3 victory for the Mustangs. This game, despite being one of Penn Yan’s lower-scoring outings, demonstrated their ability to adapt and overcome tough competition.
Tournament Dominance
Throughout the Sectional tournament, Penn Yan continued to showcase their superiority:
- Secured the #1 seed after a near-perfect regular season
- Maintained home-field advantage throughout the tournament
- Defeated Bath in a closely contested semi-final match
- Dominated Pal-Mac in the championship game
This consistent performance across both regular season and tournament play underscores Penn Yan’s exceptional talent and coaching.
The Legacy of Penn Yan Lacrosse: Building a Dynasty
With 25 Sectional titles to their name, Penn Yan Academy has established itself as a true lacrosse powerhouse. What factors have contributed to the program’s sustained success over the years?
Commitment to Excellence
The Mustangs’ consistent performance is a testament to the program’s dedication to developing skilled players and implementing effective strategies. This commitment extends beyond individual seasons, creating a culture of excellence that permeates the entire lacrosse program.
Strong Community Support
The sea of orange “Strive for 25” t-shirts in the stands during the championship game is just one example of the robust community backing the team enjoys. This support system plays a crucial role in motivating players and fostering a winning mentality.
Adaptability and Innovation
Penn Yan’s ability to maintain its dominance over the years suggests a program that is willing to adapt to changes in the sport and innovate its approach to stay ahead of the competition.
The Future of Penn Yan Lacrosse: What Comes Next?
With their 25th Sectional title secured, what lies ahead for the Penn Yan Academy boys lacrosse program? While the absence of a State Championship this year due to COVID-19 restrictions leaves some questions unanswered, the team’s performance suggests they would have been strong contenders for the state title.
Continued Excellence and New Challenges
As the program looks to the future, several factors will likely shape its trajectory:
- Maintaining their high level of play in the face of increasing competition
- Developing the next generation of talent to replace graduating seniors
- Adapting to any long-term changes in high school sports resulting from the pandemic
- Pursuing success at the state level when championships resume
Given their track record, it’s likely that Penn Yan will continue to be a force to be reckoned with in Section V lacrosse for years to come.
The Broader Impact: Penn Yan’s Influence on Section V Lacrosse
How has Penn Yan’s sustained success affected the overall landscape of lacrosse in Section V? The Mustangs’ dominance has undoubtedly raised the bar for competition, pushing other programs to elevate their game in order to compete at the highest level.
Inspiring Excellence
Penn Yan’s achievements serve as a benchmark for other teams in the section, inspiring players and coaches to strive for similar levels of success. This ripple effect contributes to the overall growth and development of the sport in the region.
Attracting Talent
The program’s reputation for excellence may also attract talented young players to the sport, further strengthening the lacrosse community in Penn Yan and the surrounding areas.
Analyzing Penn Yan’s Championship Performance
A closer look at the championship game against Pal-Mac reveals several key factors that contributed to Penn Yan’s dominant victory:
Offensive Firepower
The Mustangs’ ability to score consistently throughout the game was crucial to their success. How did Penn Yan’s offensive strategy overwhelm Pal-Mac’s defense?
- Balanced scoring: Multiple players contributed goals, making it difficult for Pal-Mac to focus on shutting down a single threat
- Efficient ball movement: Assists from various players indicate strong teamwork and vision on the field
- Adaptability: The team’s ability to score even in a slower-paced game demonstrates their versatility
Defensive Dominance
Penn Yan’s defense was equally impressive, effectively neutralizing Pal-Mac’s offensive efforts. What tactics did the Mustangs employ to stifle their opponents?
- Aggressive play: Mason Kuver’s ability to force turnovers disrupted Pal-Mac’s rhythm
- Solid goaltending: Griffin Emerson’s eight saves, including several difficult shots, provided a sturdy last line of defense
- Team coordination: Limiting Pal-Mac to just two goals suggests excellent communication and positioning across the defensive unit
Mental Toughness
Beyond physical skill, Penn Yan’s mental fortitude played a significant role in their championship performance. How did the team’s mindset contribute to their success?
- Consistency: Maintaining focus throughout the game, even with a comfortable lead
- Composure: Handling the pressure of a championship game with poise and confidence
- Motivation: The drive to secure their 25th title likely provided additional inspiration
These elements combined to create a well-rounded and formidable team that was more than capable of securing yet another Sectional title for Penn Yan Academy.
The Role of Coaching in Penn Yan’s Success
Behind every great team is a skilled coaching staff. How have Penn Yan’s coaches contributed to the program’s ongoing success? While specific details about the coaching staff are not provided in the original article, we can infer several key aspects of their approach based on the team’s performance:
Strategic Planning
The coaches’ ability to develop effective game plans and adapt to different opponents has been crucial. This is evidenced by Penn Yan’s success against various teams throughout the season, including their dominant performance in the championship game.
Player Development
The consistent emergence of standout players suggests a strong focus on individual skill development. Coaches likely work closely with players to hone their abilities and maximize their potential.
Team Building
Penn Yan’s success is not just about individual talent but also about how well the team works together. The coaching staff’s ability to foster teamwork and create a cohesive unit is evident in their on-field performance.
Mental Preparation
Preparing players for the mental challenges of high-stakes games is a critical aspect of coaching. Penn Yan’s composure and focus during the championship game reflect well on their mental preparation.
The coaching staff’s ability to balance these various elements has undoubtedly played a significant role in Penn Yan’s sustained success over the years.
Looking Ahead: The Impact of Penn Yan’s 25th Title
As Penn Yan celebrates this milestone achievement, it’s worth considering the broader implications of their 25th Sectional title. How might this accomplishment influence the program and the wider lacrosse community moving forward?
Motivation for Future Success
This historic win is likely to serve as a powerful motivator for current and future Penn Yan players. The desire to continue the program’s legacy of excellence could drive even greater achievements in the coming years.
Increased Attention and Expectations
With 25 titles to their name, Penn Yan may face even higher expectations from fans, media, and opponents. How will the team handle this increased pressure and scrutiny?
Potential for Growth
The program’s continued success could lead to increased resources and support, potentially allowing for further improvements in facilities, equipment, and player development programs.
Inspiration for Other Programs
Penn Yan’s achievement may inspire other schools to invest more heavily in their lacrosse programs, potentially raising the overall level of competition in Section V and beyond.
As Penn Yan Academy’s boys lacrosse team basks in the glory of their 25th Sectional title, they have not only added another chapter to their storied history but have also set a new standard for excellence in high school lacrosse. Their dominant performance throughout the season and in the championship game serves as a testament to the skill, dedication, and teamwork that have become hallmarks of the program. As they look to the future, the Mustangs will undoubtedly face new challenges and heightened expectations, but if their past success is any indication, they are more than capable of rising to the occasion and continuing their legacy as a powerhouse in Section V lacrosse.
Penn Yan Academy boys lacrosse are 25-time champions
Rob Maeske
| The Chronicle Express
PENN YAN – In what should be no surprise to anyone who’s watched Section V lacrosse this Spring, the Penn Yan boys lacrosse team won the Class D Championship title in Monday night’s Final versus Pal-Mac. The win is Penn Yan’s 25th Sectional title, more than any other school in Section V. With no State Championship this year, there’s no telling how Penn Yan would have fared in the tournament, but with this year’s team, they likely would have had a shot at the State title.
The changes in protocol due to COVID have produced few positive changes to high school athletic competitions, but one bright side for Penn Yan was the opportunity to fight for the title on their home turf. In a normal year, the final and semi-final round of Sectionals are held on neutral ground. However, this year, because of those protocol changes, each match in the tournament was hosted by the higher-seeded team.
With Penn Yan taking the #1 seed this year after a near-perfect season, they had home field advantage through the entire tournament.
As expected, the game hosted the largest crowd on either side of the field Penn Yan Academy has seen all year. With some restrictions recently being lifted, up to 500 spectators were allowed to attend the match. The home bleachers were filled with the orange “Strive for 25” t-shirts that Penn Yan fans have sported throughout Sectionals, while the visitors’ side was filled with red shirts supporting Pal-Mac and more bodies than those bleachers have supported in quite some time.
With no offense to either team, the game itself was nothing spectacular. Penn Yan has had closer games this season, including last week’s semi-final match against Bath. Though Pal-Mac fought admirably and played the best game they could, there hasn’t been a team in Class D that comes close to matching Penn Yan’s skill and talent this season. Nearby rival Marcus Whitman maintained a record close to Penn Yan’s through the Spring, even sitting at the #1 rank in the Finger Lakes League for a majority of the season due to getting an early one-game lead in league wins, but their much anticipated meetup in the second half of the season ended in a 10-3 win for the Mustangs, though Whitman did manage to hold PY to one their lowest scoring games of the year.
With Whitman being the #2 seed in the tournament and making it through to the semi-final round, Penn Yan and Whitman fans were both getting excited for a potential rematch in the Finals, but Whitman fell to Pal-Mac in last week’s game, giving the Red Raiders their opportunity to face Penn Yan for the title. Pal-Mac’s first meeting with Penn Yan in the early part of the season ended in a 9-2 win for the Mustangs.
Monday night’s match was a slower-paced game than most of PY’s outings this year. The first quarter saw Penn Yan pick up two goals to open, answering with a third after Pal-Mac’s Quinn Nolan turned a winning faceoff into the Red Raiders’ first goal and ending the period at 3-1. Penn Yan added five unanswered goals before halftime. A minute into the third quarter, Pal-Mac’s Damian Knaak scored the first goal of the second half, but it was destined to be the Raiders’ last goal of the game as Penn Yan put up four goals in each of the third and fourth quarters with no further response from Pal-Mac, ending the game at 16-2 at the final buzzer.
Penn Yan had several stars of the night. Max Brodmann scored a season-high five goals in the game and Ayden Mowry was a leading attacker for the Mustangs as he has been throughout the season, scoring four. Penn Yan’s defense was led by Mason Kuver, who was on fire and an absolute nightmare for Pal-Mac’s offense, repeatedly knocking the ball loose and focing multiple turnovers. PY goaltender Griffin Emerson also displayed his skills, making eight saves in the game, including several tough shots offered up by the Raiders. Though the game didn’t turn into another of the 19-0 shutouts that have become a familiar scene in Penn Yan this season, the game was one-sided enough that the clock had moved into running time (an oddity in a Sectional game) and Penn Yan had pulled all their starters, the leaving players being met with huge ovations by the home crowd, by the end of the fourth quarter.
Penn Yan’s final scoring stats for the game were Max Brodman with five goals and one assist, Ayden Mowry with four goals and an assist, Devon Gerhardt with three goals and an assist, Carter Earl with two goals and an assist and one goal each from Mekhi Mahan and Teagan Fingar.
For Pal-Mac’s efforts, Quinn Nolan had one goal, Damian Knaak had one goal, Keagan Hoesterey picked up one assist and goaltender Will Nichols made seven saves.
As the final buzzer sounded, the victorious Mustangs tossed their equipment in the air and met at center field, jumping, hugging, cheering and lifting each other, including a spin in the air of 8th-grader goalie Wil Thompson by teammate Kyler Lloyd, which has become something of a traditional victory celebration this year in games where Thompson got some net time.
After the game, Section V officials presented several awards, including the Class D Sportsmanship Award to the Mustangs, Class D Tournament MVP to Max Brodmann and Section V Head Coach of the Year to coach Brian Hobart, finally presenting the Championship trophy to the 2021 Penn Yan Mustangs lacrosse team. After leaving the field and meeting their family and fans for much-deserved congratulations, the Mustangs boarded a Penn Yan school bus and took a celebratory ride through town, escorted by trucks and sirens from the Penn Yan Fire Dept.
and being cheered on by roadside fans along the parade route. The bus ride returned to Penn Yan Academy where the Mustangs rang the victory bell outside the school, a tradition for winning Penn Yan teams.
Asked about his feelings after the match, head coach Brian Hobart said, “I could not be prouder of these kids. Our number one goal in this program is to win a Sectional Championship and we talk about it every day. These kids did it.”

Pleasantville downs Penn Yan for first-ever state title
Penn Yan loses 16-2 to Pleasantville
Penn Yan coach Brian Hobart and Pleasantville coach Chris Kear talk about the state Class D boys lacrosse championship game.
Sal Maiorana
A hold-up on the Gov. Mario M. Cuomo Bridge Friday didn’t slow down Pleasantville’s boys lacrosse team too much on their quest to Rochester for the state title.
After a tractor-trailer rollover closed the bridge, some quick improvisation saw the team board school buses to rendezvous with the charter bus on the other side of the Hudson River.
Despite the hitch, the team didn’t appear the worse for wear come Saturday morning in the Class D state final match against Penn Yan at St. John Fisher College.

In fact, the Pleasantville looked the part of a juggernaut. After the teams were tied 2-2 at the end of the first quarter, the Panthers ended the game on a 14-0 run, demolishing the traditional Section 5 power by a 16-2 score to claim their first-ever state title.
Going by Pleasantville’s nature of breaking open tight games with dominant scoring runs, it seemed like an inevitability that a run like that would occur.
The win was also a perfect way for Pleasantville to end the athletic year. Back in the fall, the football team, which featured nearly 20 players on this year’s lacrosse team, also made history in claiming a state title.
“It’s a double factor because they had the football championship and we’ve been getting really far into the states the last few years, so to finally get over the hump and get to this game was great,” said Pleasantville coach Chris Kear. “But we weren’t satisfied with just getting here. We talked about we might never get this chance again, so let’s capitalize while we’re here. So all the experience in football and lacrosse has really done them a service here.”
Pleasantville’s starting 10-man lineup included eight seniors while Penn Yan’s consisted of three. In addition, many of Pleasantville’s upperclassman have been part of the program’s dominance of Section 1 lacrosse that had included three straight trips to the state semifinals before this year’s breakthrough.
That type of big-game experience is always critical on the big stage.
Still, as good as the Panthers (21-1) are, no one – particularly Kear – could have foreseen the carnage that occurred as they broke away from the early tie and scored the game’s final 14 goals without a response from third-ranked Penn Yan (15-6).
“No, we didn’t expect that,” Kear said. “We have a lot of respect for that program, they’ve won 20 sectional titles in their history, so we knew it would be a battle. We knew they had the ability to come back, we weren’t taking anything for granted. Everybody was just laser focused and the kids executed.”
The first quarter had given Penn Yan some hope. Pleasantville had a clear advantage in possession time as it worked patiently against the Mustangs’ active zone defense, but despite the extra time in the offensive zone, the Panthers could do no better than a 2-2 tie.
Patrick Doherty opened the scoring 3:28 into the game as he buried a feed from behind the cage by Jake Coleman (3 goals, four assists), and after more than five minutes of scoreless play, the teams combined for three goals in the final 3:06.
Penn Yan got even on a transition goal by Austin Blumbergs, and after Jack Howe (3-1) scored for the Panthers, Penn Yan answered 45 seconds later as Colton Smith worked a one-on-one matchup from behind the cage and beat Pleasantville goalie Jack Fitzgerald low. That would be the last goal Penn Yan would score as it was shut out for the final 36 minutes, 40 seconds.
Pleasantville began to assert itself in the second quarter, and Penn Yan offered almost no pushback against the tidal wave of goals that turned the game into a rout. Pleasantville scored five unanswered goals before halftime to open a 7-2 lead as its offense kicked into gear and Penn Yan goalie Jeff Kinyoun (six saves) didn’t have much chance.
The Mustangs inexperience showed as it struggled to handle the Panthers’ ball movement, and at the other end, Penn Yan’s offense could not win its man-to-man battles and produced only a couple of quality chances, both of which were turned aside by Fitzgerald (10 saves).
“We battled for 12 minutes and then they were playing at a pace that we couldn’t sustain,” Penn Yan coach Brian Hobart said. “We had a hard time maintaining the ball and we got out-athleted a little today.”
After intermission, Pleasantville scored twice in the first two minutes to make it 9-2, and it was over. The Panthers went on to score eight times in the quarter, and the clock began running non-stop with four minutes left in the third. They spent most of the rest of the game nursing the clock and not running up the score any more.
“We knew from watching them on film that they’re a team that goes on runs,” said Hobart. “We talked about answering their runs, and we just couldn’t do that today. One goal turned into two which turned into 14.”

Akron wins lacrosse quarterfinal vs.
Penn Yan
Leading off today: Akron junior Owen Hill completed his eight-point game in double overtime, finding a streaking Nelson Logan to win the NYSPHSAA boys Class D lacrosse quarterfinal over Penn Yan 10-9 on Saturday at St. John Fisher College.
It marked Section 6’s first win in the quarterfinals vs. Section 5 since 2013 and snapped a Penn Yan run of six straight trips to the New York State Public High School Athletic Association semifinals. The Mustangs had defeated Akron by scores of 19-4, 20-8 and 17-6 in the playoffs the three previous seasons.
“My heart is just filled with love for our guys because that is something we’ve worked for constantly,” Akron coach Gary Sundown told The Buffalo News. “Last year, the day after this game it was right back to work. It was a whole year process.”
Hill’s sixth goal of the game came from 15 yards out with nine-tenths of a second to go in regulation. He got the shot off against a double-team after a restart with :05.
8 to go.
“I swear it went between their kneecaps,” Sundown said. “I honestly don’t know how it got through there. I’m just so glad he shot.”
In the second OT, Hill air-mailed a long pass to Logan for a quick catch-and-release from atop the crease.
More boys Class D highlights: Syracuse CBA earned its first trip to the semifinals in a decade with a 23-8 win over St. Lawrence. Ben McCreary led the Brothers with five goals and five assists, and Alex Calkins had five goals and two assists. Augustus Bonacci added four goals and three assists.
Boys Class A: Lakeland/Panas junior attack Joseph Janavey scored with :16.9 left in regulation to lead the Rebels past Shaker 10-9.
Lakeland led 2-0 before Shaker reeled off five unanswered goals. In the fourth, Matt Knees hit the top corner with 3:41 to go and Griffin Shiland tied the contest for Lakeland with :42 left leading up to Janavey’s fifth goal.

• It was the 18th Long Island championship for the Patriots, who got 11 saves from goalie Perry Cassidy.
• Colby Barker scored three of Pittsford’s first four goals and four times overall as the Panthers blew past Orchard Park 20-6. Sonny Imburgia added three goals in the win.
Boys Class B: Kyle Casey finished with five goals and three assists in leading Yorktown over Niskayuna 12-11 at Mononasen High School.
“Knowing it could be the last game that I ever played for Yorktown put me in a whole different mindset,” Casey told The Journal News. “I came out firing the rest of the game.”
After Niskayuna closed to within 10-9 with 10:20 left to play, Casey scored a pair of goals bookending a score by Niskayuna’s Lucas Quinn (four goals, one assist).
• Two-time defending state champion Victor downed Hamburg 7-4 as junior goalie Chayse Ierlan stopped eight shots.

90,000 March Cats: Top Student League Cheerleaders – Rushmore Academy – Blogs
Hundreds of teen comedies are based on the “cheerleader” – “quarterback” conflict.
In “The Faculty,” the protagonist makes fun of the quarterback guy’s attempt to quit football: “This is the rule of society, nerd, the team leader sleeps with the cheerleader captain.”
In the end, the beauty chooses the school nerd, the quarterback quits football, and Zeke stops pushing the crap. Quarter, campus, football, college, sports – everything is in place. Instead of powder – the best cheerleaders.
8. Boston Cannons Dance Team.
The girl in the photo is Diana.Diana recently graduated from university. She is the leader of the Boston Cannons lacrosse cheerleader. Diana lives in Boston, she does not have a boyfriend and in the evenings she is bored, her phone number is + 78439 further after subscribing to the blog. Although this is not a student league, let’s make an exception for Diana.
Lacrosse is one of the NCAA’s “kosher” sports. Princeton, Harvard, Stanford, Penn State, Dartmouth, Columbia – all have teams. Even he played it, second from left:
But to understand the game, you will not have enough patience, or endurance, or faith in the meaning of what is being undertaken.Even if we start with the spring weekend commercial of the USC women’s team.
Basically, it is played by those who are forbidden by their mothers to communicate with you and who then go to legal. No chance, guys. During weird net races, look for a sharper story with your eyes.
7. University of Miami – Miami Hurricanes.
It’s not our fault that she has a closed top.These are the rules. Smiles, abs, grace of lines, elasticity of forms. The rest is after graduation and prom.
The passing score for any specialty at the University of Miami is quite high, and sports scholarships need to be supported by an acceptable average mark. The support group for football and basketball programs has ascetic standards. After the next match: training – campus – training.Like the Winklevoss with Teebow.
If from the feminism of some, I want to create Facebook, then from the chiseled bearing “Hurricanes”, I want to introduce them to their parents.
6. University of Southern California – USC Trojans.
Pension for noble maidens. Sleep after lights out. Studying Latin, the manner of Princess Middleton – the reincarnations of Kate Hepburn are dancing on Sunset Boulevard.
We understand why the Sports Illustrated cover was Matt Barkley’s biggest achievement. He was not the king of the campus. When the goddesses Olympia Riefenstahl entered the vaults of the university, he was with Taylor Swift in the seat of the Buick.
We like you, Matt. But team success is possible with two ambitious parts. They usually suffer from loneliness and “Will Hunting Syndrome” – a fear of their own perfection, which incinerates the imperfection of others.But you’re okay, Trojan. The future starts here. Step forward.
5 . University of Texas – University of Texas cheerleaders
Nowhere without Texas. The Texas girls have all the options for success: base, perspective, bigotry, team and Matthew McConaughey.
In truth, we don’t care which “Texas” we support: A&M or State University.Yeah, the agricultural quarterback took the Highman, but that’s not what we’re here for, right?
And then two teams – one state. The crossing of borders, fields, open spaces are erased by the lines of football. They don’t like him here – they believe in him here. Until the student’s bench.
4. Pennsylvania State University – Penn State Cheerleader Group.
Penn State has one remark – it’s good that Jerry Sandusky picked the boys.
“Penn” chicks – who are from home, who are in the house:
And dont you cry tonight: new season – new hopes.
3. University of Mississippi – Taylor Stone, Missisipi State Cheerleader (s).
Remember how Stiffler wanted the stripper cops for his bachelor party? Why ? It’s like “Vegas” – an iron attribute of moviegoers. Taylor Stone has nothing to do with professional striptease, but she is a rare NCAA cheerleader who has starred for Playboy.
Thank you for your sports interest, Hugh!
2 . University of California at Los Angeles – UCLA.
Another Californication, now less puritanical. An inspiring campus, fresh air, and Fiat Lux (Let there be light) motto let beauty and abundance bloom in the UCLA field.
If you meet a California cheerleader you don’t see her on Existential Drive.To be easier is to be better: choose “Wow ride” or “Eurotrip”. There is no Gosling, but there is no such option either:
And do not be surprised if the morning after the date they do not call you back, and not you. Los Angeles, 4 million – Sleeping with someone and not meeting them the next day is the norm.
Without despair: you have strong competitors:
The happy ending of the “Basketball Diaries” looked like this: the eternal sunshine of the spotless mind before the “Go-Go” California:
1.University of Oregon – Oregon Ducks Cheerleaders.
If you treated this rating as a lost match, then we raise you from the bench and send you to the throw 3 seconds before the end. Oregon Ducks and Amanda Pfluhrad as the best thing about cheerleading.
After working in the industry, Amanda has become an industry herself. Oregon’s top cheerleader has proven that she can not only train hard, lead a support team (they don’t have a helmet with radio transmitters and no pads with schematics on their sleeves), but also achieve success in the media industry working for FOX.
Cheerleading is not just “tinsel blonde” – it is part of the culture. Like masses, mottos, merchandise or journalists.
Amanda’s site resembles that of Olympic champion Ryan Lochte, and the approach to business is the methods of Michael Phelps. An exposed body part will always be a distraction, but everyone in college deserves the chance to be a professional. A quarterback who quit football or a cheerleader turned journalist.

Brown’s first mascot was a donkey, first introduced in a 1902 game against Harvard.The donkey’s mascot was not restrained after it seemed to be frightened by the noise of the game and because of the laughter it caused.
