Breckenridge was successful in its dry run for
hosting regionals, winning the C-D division of the second annual Breckenridge
Cheer Invite.

The Huskies finished with 734.5 points, 68.5 points ahead of
second-place Brown
City. Breckenridge will
host regionals next weekend.

Mt. Pleasant's cheer team finished third in the Class
A-B division.

Chesaning won the invite with 693 points while DeWitt was second
with 658 and the Oilers were third out of eight teams
with 656 points. A three-point deduction in the first round cost the Oilers second place.

Mt. Pleasant scored 184 in the
first round, 189 in second and 283 in the third round.

"I was a little shocked at how low the score was,“ MPHS coach Kristi LaFleur
said. "We just need to pull it all together now as we head into regionals.
Our goal all along has been to get back to the state finals.“

The Oilers must finish in the top two
of Saturday's regional at Grand Rapids Kenowa Hills.
