The Novi Wildcats
cheerleading team isn't ready to say they've reached the heights of their
potential.

Instead, they like to
think they're just starting to peak.

The squad earned first
place in the Ladywood Invitational recently, scoring an impressive 640.6
points to edge old regional rival Bedford's 628.3 points. Also in the
tournament were Livonia Franklin and Stevenson, Chippewa
Valley, Northville and Port Huron.

In the first round, Novi scored 178 points before earning a 178.1 from the
judges in the second round. It was their third round performance that
catapulted them into the lead as they scored a whopping 284.5 points to
secure the victory.

The team also earned a
huge dual meet victory over KVC foe South Lyon
last week, crushing the Lions, 271.5-229.

In the first round,
Novi earned a 169.5 before dominating the second round with a 1rd, it
was all Wildcats as they topped South Lyon's
score by nearly 50 points with a 271.5-point performance.
