(03-02)(03-23) 196038DK cheers into regionals for fifth straight year
Brett Bremer
Sports Editor
The Panthers didn’t make it out of the gym
from their round three warm-ups before the
announcer at Bronson High School started
reading the round two scores Saturday.
There was some leaping into the hugs of
smiling teammates as they hit the doorway.
The Delton Kellogg varsity competitive
cheer team held its spot in fourth place with
its highest round two score of the season at
191.1 points.
“Tighter, cleaner and on time,” was how
Delton Kellogg head coach Zoe Reynolds
described her team’s round two performance.
“Honestly, they didn’t have a whole lot of
room to improve in round two. They only
have a little bit more to do to be perfect based
on our skills.”
The Panthers returned to the mat to put up
one of their best round three scores of the
year and then celebrated a bit again when
their fourth place finish was announced at the
conclusion of the MHSAA Division 4 District
Tournament. The top four teams at the district
earn spots in next Saturday’s MHSAA Divi-
sion 4 Regional at Grand Rapids Northview
High School where the top four teams qualify
for the MHSAA Division 4 Competitive
Cheer Finals.
The Southwestern Athletic Conference
champions from Lawton dominated the dis-
trict. The Blue Devils were the Division 4
State Runner-up a year ago after having
placed seventh at the 2021 Finals.
Lawton earned an overall score of 709.44,
putting up the top point total in each of the
three rounds. The Blue Devils scored 226.
points in round one, 209.04 in round two and
273.80 in round three.
Buchanan and Coloma will join Delton
Kellogg and Lawton at Northview Saturday,
Feb. 25, having finished second and third
respectively. The regional is scheduled to
being at 6 p.m.
Buchanan had a final score of 678.42,
ahead of Coloma 667.34 and Delton Kellogg
664.30.
Delton Kellogg had a score of 208.7 in
round one, which had the Panthers in fourth
place at the end of that round. They closed out
their day with a score of 263.70 in round three.
“Round one was just a little fast in parts
and the jumps were off, and it lowered our
scores just a little bit,” Reynolds said. “Had it
been a little bit slower, I think it would have
been our best round one today. Round three
was going very good until that last sequence.”
White Pigeon and Maple Valley were the
teams closest to challenging the Delton Kel-
logg girls for the final regional qualifying
spot after two rounds, but both trailed the
Panthers by close to 30 points at that point – a
nearly insurmountable margin going into
round three.
Bronson actually jumped up into fifth
place with a round three score of 272.20. The
host Vikings ended the meet with an overall
total of 623.20.Maple Valley was sixth with a score of
622.82, ahead of Gobles 595.10, White Pigeon
581.70, Hartford 574.60, Fennville 556.90,
Schoolcraft 541.70 and Union City 520.70.
The Maple Valley girls had their best round
two and three scores of the season.
Maple Valley put up scores of 197.5 in
round one and 171.32 in round two. The
Lions closed their day with a score of 254.
in round three.
Both Maple Valley and Delton Kellogg had
a little miscue late in round three that dinged
their scores just a bit, but overall they were
solid closing rounds for the local teams.
Lion head coach Sarah Huissen credited
her team’s top round two score, in part, to
improved back walkovers. The Lions replaced
round-offs with back walkovers for the final
Greater Lansing Activities Conference jam-
boree of the season and kept working on them
over the final weeks of the season.“Having that skill in that round is some-
thing that really had the girls excited to do
that round, and we just kept improving from
there,” Huissen said.
The Lion head coach was also pleased to
get all her team’s twist cradles in during their
round three performance.
“I am really proud of this group,” Huissen
said. “They’re a young group, but they have
fought through the season. It has been a good
season, but we just didn’t end up where we
wanted to be unfortunately.”
The Lions and Panthers were both regional
qualifiers a year ago, and they both went into
Saturday’s meet hoping for similar results.
This is the fifth straight season the DK girls
have qualified for the regional round of the
state tournament.
“They were excited to be here today,”
Reynolds said. “Next week is just shoot for
our best scores and see where we fall.”Delton Kellogg freshman Izabelle Gruber does the splits with her teammates during
