Due to cheer tryouts being delayed as well as practices, the coaches have been posting dances and cheers, along with conditioning on the Band app to keep the girls ready for the season to start. I think the preparation we are giving the girls now, will be beneficial to them when its time to tryout, Chastain said. Were touching base multiple times a week, they have material to learn, workouts to complete, and little daily activities to keep them on the right track. With the pandemic still continuing, tryouts could be delayed until June.

Mississippi State’s Elijah MacNamee crouches on the field after a tough loss to Louisville in the 2019 College World Series. For the first time in 70 years, Omaha won’t be hosting the eight-team tradition, which is an extreme blow to the city. The city has long prided itself on hosting the tournament and in 2009 spent $100 million to build TD Ameritrade Park in exchange for an NCAA promise to keep the CWS through at least 2035. Canceling the CWS alone will cost the local economy $70 million, and is a huge loss for the businesses and vendors that surround TD Ameritrade Park.
