Farmington High
School's junior varsity competitive cheer team won the
Berkley Invitational Feb. 23 at Berkley
High School.

It was the second
victory for the Falcons, who also won the Oakland Activities Association
Division III championship Feb. 2.

The team, which
consists of freshmen and sophomores, is coached by Brittnay
Webster, a former Farmington
cheerleader.

"This team has
overcome a lot of obstacles this season, and it was amazing to watch all
their hard work pay off at these last two competitions," Webster said.
"It's been wonderful coaching a team that has its mind set on winning.

"These girls
never settled for being "okay." They wanted to be the best, and
getting there wasn't easy. They had to push themselves to try harder stunts,
which meant not only trusting me that they could do it but also trusting each
other."

The Farmington varsity team placed third at the
Berkley Invitational and second in the OAA competition.

Varsity and jayvee
tryouts for next season are set for early May. More information will be
available in the Farmington High main office and, for incoming freshmen, at
all middle schools
