Paw Paw cheer team in sync at
Schoolcraft last week.

The Paw Paw
competitive cheer team scored its best finish of the season last Wednesday
night at Schoolcraft.

After the first of three rounds, the
Redskin girls found themselves in sixth position, just a few points behind
Bloomingdale. Leading the competition after Round One was Wolverine
conference dominators Three Rivers followed by Southwestern Michigan Athletic
Conference powerhouse Portage Central.

Paw Paw carried its confidence from the first round into
Round Two put on a tremendous show, from their team toe-touch to their back
walk-over. At the end of the second round, Paw Paw
had vaulted into fifth place.

During the
"stunting" round, the Paw Paw squad went
thru their routine in sync, and with two stunt groups, "flying"
Rossi Fifelski and Katelynd
Shanely, and senior Erika Haynor
making flawless tumbling passes, the Redskin cheerleaders scored over 600
points for the time ever. The Paw Paw girls
finished in third place overall, and second in Division 3.
