definitely stepped up its
game when it premiered Jan.
24 at the Hobby Center for
the Performing Arts in
Houston.
The Broadway-bound
presentation by Theatre
Under the Stars continues
through Feb. 5.
In cheerleading champi-
onships, there is one mission:
claim the title. In this bold
and exciting musical come-
dy, the high-stakes world of
competitive cheerleading
meets the cutthroat rivalries
of high school politics and
romance. Can you be true to
your team, your friends and
to yourself? Sometimes its
just got to get ugly first
before it gets pretty.
Campbell Davis (played
by Taylor Louderman) is
planning on leading her

squad to
the cham-
pionship.
Then
every-
thing
goes
wrong. In
a hilari-
ous dislay
of conflict
and com-
petition, the show's classic
storyline scores with fresh
proof that winning isn’t
everything.
Bridget, the team's "big
girl" (played by Ryann
Redmond), steals the spot-
light several times through
the show, whose ensemble
includes some familiar faces
from the FOX-TV series So
You Think You Can Dance,
along with skilled competi-
tive cheerleaders whose
combined achievements total
more than 25 national and 50
team titles in gymnastics and

choreography. The explosive
choreography is like nothing
you’ve ever seen, with acro-
batic cheerleading routines
that are visually stimulating.

makes this show so great?
For starters, the new musi-
cal comedy was created by
some of the funniest and
most creative minds on
Broadway, including Tony
Award-winning writer Jeff
Whitty (Avenue Q); Tony
Award-winning composer
Lin-Manuel Miranda (In The
Heights); Pulitzer Prize and
Tony Award-winning com-
poser Tom Kitt (Next to
Normal); lyricist Amanda
Green (High Fidelity); Tony
Award-winning orchestrator
Alex Lacamoire (Wicked);
and Tony Award-winning
director/choreographer Andy
Blankenbuehler (In The
Heights).
Add to that show-stopping
performances and Bring It

worth cheering for. Game On!

his enthusiasm wanes
after being in a tuxedo
and what I imagine will
be uncomfy shoes for
hours. Probably not.
He’s a trooper for his

Happily, he cleared the
contagious phase and
will be in tip-top form
for the big event.
As for me, I think I
may be in the clear as I
have surpassed the time
period whereby I should
have succumbed. And
that’s a good thing
because I’m exhausted
from being a short-order

Munro’s maze encour-
ages readers to travel
wide-eyed through the
city, keeping their eyes
peeled for surprises.
Bright colors and car-
toon characters entice
the reader to keep trying
to navigate the maze.
They try first one direc-
tion, then another.
Who knows! Young
readers may be inspired
to draw their own mazes.
“Doors” is a great fol-
low-up with its “lift the
flap” interaction.
Educational note:
Mazes help children
learn decision-making
and critical thinking
skills.
A maze encourages

them to plan steps in
advance. Mazes teach
alternative ways to solve

(Factually correct.)
Two of his most remem-
bered columns were those
on the time, in 1933, he
met Will Rogers (he was
“telling a story”) and
another on growing this
giant watermelon (“telling
a story”). Both came with
“slightly” altered pictures.
In the Rogers column,
Jim told how he met the
famed American humorist
by accident in a Baytown
cafe. He went on to spend
all day with Will right here
in Channel City.
Jim claimed he had rid-
den from Houston to
Baytown on what was then
called the interurban train.
That would later cause him
some despair.
After the column
appeared, he came to me
and confessed he really,
really felt bad. How come?
“Jimbo, a little old lady
just called me. She must’ve
been 80 years old. She was
real excited. She wondered
if I remembered her daddy,
who was the conductor bn
that train.” (Factually cor-

Gander athletes worked
harder than most construc-
tion teams and accom-
plished the task in record-
breaking time.
In his story, Jimmie
mentioned that Rock’s
workout schedules were
“legendary around area
high school” and athletes
from other schools often
commented that the
Ganders worked out three
times as long as they did.
Rock had a reason for
pushing the strenuous
dailies, and it wasn’t only
about winning and setting
records. It was about stay-
ing in shape and not get-
ting hurt. In his words, “If
there is anything I can’t
stand it’s to see boys hang-
ing on the rail or being car-
ried limp off the track after
a race. Those things just
mean they haven’t worked
properly and are not in
condition to run the races
they are supposedly
trained to run.”
rect.) By the way, Jim was
bom in 1927, six years
before all of this supposed-
ly took place.
Poor lady. But funny col-
umn.
The watermelon story
recounted how Jim helped
another elderly lady change
a tire, and as a reward, she
gave him some atomic-like
watermelon seeds. She
warned him the seeds
would grow giant 'water-
melons.
Well, he planted the
seeds and a watermelon
that would barely fit inside
Stallworth Stadium sprung
up, sapping the water from
the ground and killing
nearby trees.
Big watermelon, huh?
After the story ran, a
couple visiting Baytown
from out of state (probably
Massachusetts) called The
Sun wanting the location so
they could go see that
watermelon. (Factually
correct.)
With all this in mind, I’m
going to be more careful
and...
Excuse me. I’ve got to
take this cal! from Obama:
Jim Finley is a retired
managing editor of The
Sun.
Back again to 1942,
entire nations were run-
ning an ominous race and
the outcome would be cru-
cial to all. We’re talking
World War II, and Coach
Rock soon would be enlist-
ing as a private in the
Army. After getting sol-
diers in shape, setting up
physical training programs
in military bases all over
the country, Capt.
Rockhold returned to his
coaching career four years
later at REL.
There’s more to be said
about Coach Rock in
future columns, leading up
to the big day, the
Rockhold Relays March
30 when a monument will
be dedicated in his memo-
ry. If you’d like to donate
to the fund for the monu-
ment, make a check
