You can say it's a coincidence. You can say it's just bad luck. But we all know what you are really thinking: "The curse of L5 Large Senior takes another victim."


The Stingray All Stars Orange were supposed to finally break the dreaded curse. Orange had a monumental season as they took home not just an impressive win at NCA All-Star, but also the full Varsity All Star Triple Crown.

In case you have been out of the loop, the conspiracy theory behind the curse of L5 Large Senior is simple: 

"If you win NCA All-Star, you won't win The Cheerleading Worlds."

The Rays were ranked third going into Finals at Worlds, but after two stunt mishaps in their opening sequence, their chances to claim the championship title in this super competitive division were crushed.

World Cup Shooting Stars fought through adversity all season long, but peaked just at the right moment with a perfect performance tonight to be named 2017's World Champions. Stingray Orange ended up taking fifth.

We know the Orange Rays will get back up and be better than ever as they do their best to battle the so-called curse again in 2018. But for now, I must ask: Do you believe it?! 

Congratulations to the 2017 Senior Large All Girl World Champions!
