The Rockford Rams
competitive cheer team won Division 1 of the West Ottawa Invitational on

really hard and have performed above their expectations all season.

"Everyone on the

excited about the future," said Rams coach Kathy Resseguie.

Their scores were 217 in the
first round, 242.756 in the second, and 305.5 in the third, for a total of

"Our
score in the second round was our highest ever. We were hitting all of the
stunts, and everyone was doing their best," said coach Resseguie.

The girls came out with
an exciting opening to the third round and received high general impression
scores to seal their first-place finish.

The Rams have a meet at
Hudsonville on Saturday, where they will compete again with West
