The Hudsonville
competitive cheer team placed third at the Lake Michigan Competitive Cheer
Officials Association Scholarship Meet on Saturday at East Kentwood
High School.

The Eagles posted a
three-round score of 678.1, finishing behind runner-up Holland Christian
(701.1) and meet champion East Kentwood (711.1) Hudsonville led entering the
final round after accumulating 407.6 points through the first two rounds, but
couldn't hold on.

"Everything came
together for us really well in rounds 1 and 2," coach Amanda Cooper
said. "We tend to struggle in round 3, but we're working to improve on
that. Overall, it was a great confidence boost to be leading going into round
3, and that was amazing for my girls. They're working hard, and we're trying
to focus on our own scores this year."

The Eagles compete
Saturday at the Mona Shores Invitational.
