It's not good news for
opponents: East Kentwood's No. 9-ranked
competitive cheer team in Division 1 is "starting to come together as a
team," coach Stacy Sheler said.

The Falcons finished
fourth among 12 teams in Saturday's PR Cheer Tournament at the DeltaPlex and
are picking up steam, said Sheler, who has 11 juniors, seven sophomores and a
freshman on a young roster.

"We're fun to watch
and getting better," she said.

Falcons senior Andrea
Phillips won a $1,000 scholarship to Grand Valley
State at the meet.
Phillips and senior Ashley DeRuiter are the only
Falcons to compete in all three rounds of a meet.

East
Kentwood
will compete at Saturday's Chesaning Invitational and in its own Falcon
Invitational on Feb. 20 before the conference meet Feb. 24.
