The cheer team has also traveled to Grandville High School on Jan. 5 to compete against some of the top Division One teams in the state. The team had a goal to place in the top 6 at the event. They fell just short coming in 7th by four points. This loss caused a renewed sense of determination and stronger work ethic amongst the girls.
