PB Cheer team third at state

Posted Friday, November 21, 2008, at 7:15 AM

Got an email from Poplar Bluff cheerleading coach Allison Bell that her team finished third at the state competition last weekend in Columbia. It's the highest her squad has finished and the first time since 2004 that the team placed in the Class 5 Large group division.

Other area teams did quite well at the Missouri Cheerleading Coaches Association event with Sikeston winning the Class 4 Large division and Cooter winning the Class 2 Large title.

There will be a story in the DAR sometime next week after I talk with coach and the team.
