Comstock Park made the annual CCCAM
(Competitive Cheer Coaches Association of Michigan) Scholarship meet just a
little bit more special for itself this year.

Not only did the Panthers host the 22-team event, but they won Pool C
with a total team score of 703.940. Three Rivers came in second (666.248),
followed by Otsego (654.342), Wyoming
Park (641.591) and
Plainwell (638.948).

"This was a very exciting day for us," said Comstock Park coach Kathy Felty
on her team's victory in its first meet of the year. "This is a young
team that has a lot of talent. I thought we performed exceptionally well for
the first time out. It's very exciting to start out the season this
way."

The Panthers started off with a very strong round
one performance of 211. In round two, Comstock Park
demonstrated their stunting skills with a 206.44. Coach Felty
said that it's always difficult to put a round three routine together by
mid-December, but the Panthers looked good with their round-three score of
286.5.

"Round three went really well; we had a great score. But, we have
a lot more things to add to that cheer."

Some of the Panthers' leaders included seniors Erica Yeomans and Sarah Coble, who bring tremendous all-around
talent to the team. Senior Rachel Egner is a key stunter for round three, while junior Brittni
May is a leader in all three rounds.

Comstock Park next competes at its own invitational on
January 12, followed by the first O-K Blue Conference meet on January 16 at Sparta High School.
