Winner competitive cheer team won first place in Faulkton on Monday.
“They nailed everything and their stunts were great,” said coach Val Ewing.
It has been a busy week for the competitive cheer team.
A week ago the girls traveled to Northwestern to compete against some teams from the northeastern part of the state. The Lady Warriors came home with a second place finish.
“This competition was hard because it was homecoming week and it started so late,” said Ewing. “I feel the girls did a great job but we lost some needed points due to deductions. Deductions have been killing us this year,” said Ewing.
Friday of homecoming the girls provided halftime entertainment for the large crowd at the football game.
“As I coach I love to have the girls having the chance to perform their routine for the entire town. We don’t get a lot of spectators at our local competition so this is the girls chance to show everyone the talent we have,” noted the coach.
On Saturday, Sept. 30 the girls hit the road at 5:30 a.m. for Sioux Falls Roosevelt competition. “This was an awesome environment as we got the chance to cheer in the Pentagon and we go to see a lot of ClassAA schools.
Ewing said the girls came back to practice with a vengeance and we have made some big adjustments in our routine in order to get us some more difficulty points.
The girls will have one more competition before the state on Oct. 14 when they travel to Platte.
The state meet will be Oct. 20 in Rapid City.
