The East Kentwood Falcons
competitive cheerleading team came in second place last Saturday at the regionals in Brighton. The Falcons won the conference and district
tournaments the two previous weeks, and have qualified for the state finals.

"The girls did a
great job," said East Kentwood coach Stacey Sheler.
"I'm very happy with our performance, and our goal has always been to
get to the state meet, and we're in a great spot."

Senior Shali Clark has a pulled muscle in her abdomen, and was
doing light practices all week, but she was able to stick it out and perform
in all three rounds. Coach Sheler said she will
take it easy again this week so she is ready on Saturday.

Coach Sheler
also wanted to mention the great performances of seniors Vivian Do, and
Lauren White, who have been with the team for four years, along with Clark.

The Falcons now head to
the state meet Saturday, March 7th at 9 a.m. at the DeltaPlex.
