The Saginaw News, February 28, 2009

The Mount Pleasant competitive cheer team aced the
Division 2 regional at Caledonia with a score of 764.7432 that put the Oilers into the
state finals for the fourth consecutive year. The finals are set for 4:30
p.m. on
Saturday at the Delta Plex in Grand Rapids, and the Oilers have placed
fourth in each of the last two seasons.

"We performed well
in all three of the rounds today, however, we know we've still got a little
bit more," said Mount Pleasant coach Kristi LaFleur.
"We can put together a better presentation. What got us to the top was
our Round 2 performance. It was the best we've had all year."

The Oilers scored a
234.0432 to top the field in what is known as the skill round.

"We have a really
good attitude right now and the girls are really driven," said LaFleur. "We do believe we have the potential to
reach the top."
