The girls competitive cheer team is off to a great start this season. The Wolves took first place scoring 648 points at the Davison Invitational on Jan. 27.
‘They improved tremendously, they did a good job,? coach Chandra Price said.
‘They were so excited to win.?
The girls also took second place in the opening competition of the season on Jan. 9.
The 18-member squad is getting situated into a new format for this season. The cheer team has been split into two seasons this year to comply with rule changes made by the Michigan High School Athletic Association.
Price said the team used the fall sports season as a conditioning period, whereas the winter sports season is when the team actually competes head-to-head with other teams from the Oakland Activities Association. In the past, teams were governed by separate entities and now the season is solely regulated by the MHSAA.
‘I think they’re adjusting really well,? Price said of her team.
‘It’s been different, but it’s definitely been an exciting change to have everybody unified.?
The girls have two more competitions this season. They will compete on Saturday at the Sterling Invitational at Waterford Mott and on Feb. 24 Clarkston plays host to the girls competitive cheer championship.
