CHEER | Liberty University Cheerleading CCA College Nationals 2013 Routine

Some of you may know that the red squad competes and represents Liberty University at the Universal Cheerleaders Association (UCA) College National Championship each year in Florida.  They debuted their nationals routine at a basketball game earlier in the season and you can check that out on the blog here!

This year our own white squad also competed!  They participated in the Christian Cheerleading Association (CCA) Christian Cheer Nationals against other large co-ed squads from Christian colleges.  They did fantastic and came home with the title of 2013 CCA National Champions!  Here are some of my favorite images from their championship routine that they exhibited on February 28th at the women's basketball game!

ACTION | Liberty University vs Virginia Military Institute

The Liberty men played against Virginia Military Institute on February 26th of this year, one of the later games of the season.  The Keydets kept the game pace at a blazing speed that unfortunately Liberty could not maintain, in spite of our improvements.  As a result, Liberty suffered a loss to Virginia Military Institute, 66-83. 

For this post, I decided to group all of the basketball imagery together and then share some of the crowd interaction and the Liberty University cheerleaders! Enjoy!

ACTION | Liberty University vs. Austin Peay State University

The Liberty Men's Basketball team took on Austin Peay State University on Saturday, February 23rd, 2013.  It was a well fought game that ended tied and went into overtime.  In the end, Liberty beat Austin Peay State University 79-73!  Of course, the Liberty University Cheerleaders were present to support the team and lead the crowd.  As the season has progressed, I've been pushing myself to better my skills at capturing action and new angles to shoot from.  I also enjoy catching various moments of interaction during the game.  I've seen Dr. Towns now at a few games!  I find especially awesome that he attends to support the team, athletes, and interact with fans and students.

You can check out some of the basketball and cheerleading action from the game below! 

ACTION | Liberty University Men's Basketball vs Radford University & Liberty University Cheerleading - February 5, 2013

Tuesdays I have a pretty full schedule and I was not sure I could attend the men's basketball game that night.  I had to go straight to the game from a workout but I'm really glad I did!  It was one of the best games I've watched so far this season.  Radford University is one of our biggest conference rivals and as such the game was very close all the way through!
