Competitive cheer

West
Ottawa shines at invitational: The Panthers competed at the top of their game
at the Deltaplex Invitational.

“We did very well against some of the top teams in the state,”
said West Ottawa coach Kristine Brandt. “It was like a state
meet.”

West Ottawa finished third in the large field with a 797 score.

“We actually led after the first two rounds,” Brandt said.
“The girls did awesome.”

Rochester ended up being first with 803 points. East Kentwood was second at
799.

The Panthers had a season-high 252 score in Round 2.

“It would have been nice to have gotten to 800 points, but 800 points
is very rare,” Brandt said.
