GIBRALTAR - Gibraltar Carlson
cheerleaders flexed their muscles and captured the Division 2 championship of
their own Pat Christensen Memorial Cheer Competition.

The Marauders scored 722 points, 17 better than runner-up Allen Park which also finished
second to Carlson in last year's state finals. Dearborn Divine Child,
Wyandotte Roosevelt, Lapeer East and Swartz Creek also competed in Division 2
Saturday.

"The girls did fantastic," said Carlson co-coach Christina Wilson.
"Considering we are still on Christmas break, they did wonderful. It was
a very big test for us today."

Ida beat out Romulus Summit Academy 538-525 to win
Division 3. North Farmington edged Woodhaven in Division 1.
