Plymouth Christian cheer squad takes Class D title

Plymouth Christian Academy cheerleading coach Suzanne Immerfall went out in style this past weekend.

Immerfall's 16-member squad won its fourth consecutive
Class D title at the Michigan Cheerleading Coaches Association State
Championship meet held Saturday at Saginaw Valley State University. It was
the final competition for Immerfall, who is
stepping down as the Eagles' coach.

"I
tried to run our program like a Class A school would," Immerfall said. "Everyone on the squad does
gymnastics at Eurostars, which has really been
beneficial."

PCA won by
an unprecedented 73 points over the second-place team.

PCA, which
has not lost one competition in the past four years, consists of: Allison
Clemmons, Abi Cochran, April La Benne, Kristen Macauley, Parker Welling, Caleb James, Ashley James,
Jenna Nill, Rebekah
Martin, Kim Johnson, Lauren Qualls, Alyssa Messing, Melissa Zylka, Heather Shamie, Jessica Shamie and Tessa Neubacher.
Jenny Stellema and Jessica Isensee
served as assistant coaches.
