Seniors Madison Teed (l to r), Kassidy Krist, and Hailey Baltosser are excited to compete for the first time at the MHSAA Division 2 cheer state final on Saturday, March 4.

The cheerleaders are having a pep assembly on Friday, March 3, in the gym at noon.

The girls will be performing all three rounds for family and fans.

Immediately afterward, the girls will get on the bus and leave for the MHSAA Division 2 state final.

The Hornets are competing at the Delta Plex in Grand Rapids and will stay the night Friday and come home later on Saturday, March 4, after the competition.

The cheerleaders need support because they couldn’t have gotten this far without it.

Senior Kaitlyn Alburtus wants everyone who is able to come.
