On Feb. 5, Communication & Media Arts High School's cheerleading team won the Spirit Shine Celebration Cheer Competition in their division of ‘’non-stunting’’ for the second time in a row.
They went up against cheer and dance teams from elementary school to high school at Brandon High School in Ortonville, Mich.
Nerves were on end as they cheered their way to victory.
“We trained for weeks.” said junior Alexus Senior.
The cheerleaders woke up at 5:30 a.m. to arrive at the bus departure location. On their drive to Ortonville, the cheer team stayed positive and stayed motivated by singing songs and telling jokes. When they arrived and found all the teams they would face, they were surprised.
“A lot of thought went into every dance move and cheer.” said Coach Stacy.
Many teams big and small showed up to compete. CMA cheerleaders had to do one dance and cheer.
With classmates in the stands cheering them on, they were successful for a second year in a row. Now, it’s time to prepare for another cheer competition in April.
