The Grand Rapids Christian
competitive cheer team nearly made school history Saturday in the Division 2
regional at Cedar Springs.

The Eagles, coached by
Jacquie DeJonge, missed qualifying for the state
finals by less than a point. Grand Rapids Christian placed third with 661.6
points and finished behind Sparta
(662.4). Holland Christian won the regional title with 670.8 points.

The Eagles, who never have
qualified for the state finals, closed the gap by recording their highest
score of the season in round three. Their 290.5 was highest among the 11
teams.
