competitive cheer competition Dec. 13 at Harrison.

Scoring 610.7560 at their first meet, the girls are still perfecting
their skills, according to Coach Celeste Kubiak.

sloppy," she said. "In Round 2 our tumbling skills still need
improvement."

The Bobcats scored 200.8 in Round 1, behind Bullock Creek (215) and Harrison
(203.9). By the end of Round 2, Houghton

Bullock Creek was at 410.0904, and Harrison was at
400.1944.

The vartisty 'Cats had just completed Round 3
on Thursday, Kubiak said, and "the team was
not confident as they performed."

Bullock Creek stayed on top in Division 3, earning 650.4904 points. Harrison
was about 4 points behind, with 646.3944.

H.H. Dow placed first in Divison 1, Mt.
