Shreveport- The Centenary Competitive Cheer team has been selected as Centenary Athletics' "Team of the Week" after the Maroon and White had two days of impressive performances this past weekend at the Star Spirit Productions - Southern Bid Bash at the Celtic Media Center in Baton Rouge.
On the first day of the competition on Saturday, Centenary earned a program-best score in their game day routine. The team competed their traditional or "big routine" first in the day earning a 35.4 out of 40 in their voice, motions, performance, and school representation. They also saw high marks in routine composition with an 8 out of 10 and a 5 out of 5 in jumps.
In the game time category, the team brought home a season best 93.34 out of 100. They earned a 3.8 out of 4 in stunt technique and pyramid technique. They also earned a perfect score in jumps and pyramid technique.
On Sunday, the final day of the competition, the teams' traditional routine saw a seven-point upgrade for its second time taking the floor earning perfect mentionable scores in jumps with a 9.5 out of 10, 8.9 out of 10 in voice and inflection, and a 9.9 out of 10 in school representation. In fact, the entire routine saw scores in every category with an 8.0+.
For the team's game day routine, after making some adjustments late Saturday night, they saw improvements in their building difficulty, building technique, tumbling and jump technique, and overall impression.
"The team really pushed themselves this weekend," said head coach Kaylee King. It's tough to go back to back days of competition. And to debut a new routine this weekend, totaling four total routines taking the floor, that's not an easy task."
"I'm proud of how they came together and I look forward to seeing the final touches we can add to our routines before nationals!"
