Amanda Lechel

January 16, 2008 - Not only did the Brandon competitive cheer team take first place at their
first competition, Cheer Coaches Association of Michigan (CCCAM) at Stoney Creek, they also set all time records. On Dec.
15 the girls beat out Divine Child, St. Clair, and Notre Dame Prep. In rounds
one, two and three, the team received 198, 204.98, and 262.50 totaling 665.48
points. Round two was more than 200 points and that was a record for the
Brandon Cheer Program.

"The dedication of the team is what really pulled the team
together," says Jamie Slot, Brandon
High School varsity
competitive cheer coach.

"The theme this year is, taking it to the next level, in which the girls
are pushing harder than ever before; mentally and physically."

The Brandon Cheer team will compete again at 9 a.m. Jan. 26 at the Davison
Invitational.
