Coming off a first-place
finish at the Allendale Invitational on Saturday, the Kenowa cheer team took
second place at the Northview Invitational on Wednesday. The Knights broke
their highest round-two score to aid in taking runners-up with a combined
score of 709.

"We scored a 217.5
in round two and broke our own record," said third-year Kenowa coach
Brenda Looks. "We really were finally sticking our tucks, and our skills
were very together."

The team
had a round one score of 204 and then finished in round three with a 287.5.
The team has one senior member who is currently out with an injury and 10
juniors.

"Right now, we have
10 juniors all working together, so we have (11) wonderful leaders,"
said Looks.

The Knights will start
conference meets this Wednesday at Caledonia.
Last season, Kenowa took second in the conference behind Forest Hills and in
front of Byron Center.

"I have only seen a
couple of the conference teams perform this season," said Looks.
"We are just looking to improve our scores."
