The Rockford competitive cheer team hits a
tough and busy stretch this week.

The Rams host a meet
tonight, travel to the PR Cheer Tournament at the DeltaPlex on Saturday and
compete in the Grand Rapids Christian Invitational on Monday.

"This is a busier week,
and the weather better cooperate," Rockford
coach Kathy Jo Resseguie said. "A lot of the
teams from the east side of the state travel to the one at the DeltaPlex, so
we get to see a lot of teams that we normally don't get to see."

The Rams have picked up
their performances lately, despite a rash of injuries.

"We got off to a slow
start," Resseguie said. "But once the
girls got going, we have seen improvements at every meet. I hope we are
peaking at the end of season. March 3 would be a great day to peak, that's regionals. We have been struggling with injuries this
year. We have a lot of aches and pains right now, but we're coming
along."

Resseguie pointed to senior Abby Wills as
one of the Rams having a great season.
