The Winner competitive cheer team traveled to Mellette to compete in the Northwestern Invitational on Sept. 26.
Winner went up against four other teams, all from the northeast side of the state.
“It was great to have the chance to see schools that that we haven’t competed against this year but will see at state,” said coach Val Ewing.
“We have seen 12 of the teams that we will compete against at state and I feel we should be bringing home some hardware with the routines we have been working on. These girls are putting in the hours to perfect this routine and as long as we can stay healthy we will be a team to beat at state.”
The girls competed Oct. 1 at Dakota Valley, and will be at Faulkton on Oct. 10 and at Platte on Oct. 15. Ewing said these last three competitions will give Winner a more rounded idea of the teams they will see at state. “I am confident we will come out on top. The bad thing about cheerleading is you only get one chance—you can have stunts that go up 100 times perfect but all it takes is for it not to work once and that’s your score. We have a lot of difficulty in our stunting and tumbling and we need go keep working to perfect what we have,” said Ewing.
