Wednesday, February 15, 2017 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Cheerleaders place sixth at state 13 Snowfowl... By Charlie Kanzig Correspondent The Sisters Outlaws cheerleading squad put together a solid show- ing Saturday, February 11, at the Veteran’s Memorial Coliseum in Portland, site of the OSAA Cheerleading Championships. Vying with 13 other schools from the 4A classifi- cation, the Outlaws finished the competition in sixth place with 143.30 points. “Placing sixth as a team is incredible considering that Sisters High has only been involved in competitive cheerleading since last year,” said assistant Coach Kayla Jeffrey. The teams represented at state qualified by placement in competitions earlier this season. All classifications from 6A to 1A congregated at the Coliseum for the OSAA championships, filling the day with routines that include tumbling, pyramid building, and acrobatic feats. Gladstone, which finished second last year to Sweet Home, turned the tables on the Huskies, edging them by the narrowest of margins. The Gladiators tallied 175.8 points, just .2 points ahead of Sweet Home with 175.6. The Henley Hornets placed third (172.2), North Marion fourth (166.3) and Newport (158.1) fifth. Each team was scored by a panel of judges in three cat- egories. Sisters scored 51.40 PHOTO PROVIDED Anyone can make a snowman. A snow chicken is something else. PHOTO PROVIDED Sisters cheerleaders turned in a strong performance in competition. points in Building Skills, 53.90 points in Tumbling and Jumps, and 41.0 points for Overall Routine. The team was dinged 3.0 points for a safety penalty to finish with 143.30 total points. Since the school has not had a competitive cheer- leading squad for very long, much of the student body is largely unaware of what hap- pens at competition, accord- ing to Jeffrey. “We hope that as the Sisters school community sees us perform more and more, they will understand more fully the athletic nature of competitive cheerleading,” she said. “Competitive cheer- leading shares some of the same elements as gymnastics and dance teams.” Jeffrey added, “I thought that our team, among all the challenges, really per- severed and did a remark- able job. So many practices were canceled and resched- uled due to snow and other interruptions.” Team members include Emma Boyer, Abi Busick, Roy Gannon, AriAnne Griffy, Amy Hills, Errin Hongel, Lexi Jeffrey, Cylie Lagao, Cassidy Ling-Scott, Grace Maiden, Victoria Maiden, and Beth Ann Yount.
