Bobcats place sixth in first competitive cheer meet

December 14, 2006

The varsity Bobcats cheered in their first
meet of the 2006-07 season Dec. 9 at Ovid-Elsie, placing sixth of out eight
teams in Class B competitive cheer action.

“The varsity team put three solid cheers on the mat
against very tough competition,” Coach Celeste Kubiak
said. “Our team was given a 10-point time penalty in Round 1 and there
was a 6-point scoring error in Round 3. Without these, we would have placed
fourth.”

Merrill High School took the top spot with
595.9 points. Placing second was Fowlerville with 566.3. Scoring 559.1 points
was St. Johns,
for third place. Fourth through eighth place were as follows: Haslett (552),
Ovid-Elsie (546.6), Houghton
Lake (540.7), Leslie
(499.7), and Bad Axe (382.5).

“I’m very proud of the hard work the girls have done to get all
of their cheers finished this early in the season,” Kubiak
said. “We will be working on perfecting our skills and cleaning up
precision.”

The Bobcats’ next competitive cheerleading meet is slated for Jan. 4 at
home.
