EDWARDSVILLEEdwardsville’s Illinois Cheerleading Coaches Association (ICCA) Regional Cheerleading Competition had 37 teams take part and turned out to be a solid day, said Susan Way, one of the event’s co-chairs.

Way described the competition as “wonderful” as teams from across the region came out to show their best moves.

“We heard a lot of positive feedback from the teams,” she said. “This would be the last qualifying competition for the ICCA State Championship and we were a little on edge with the weather. However, it turned out to be a cold, but good day Sunday.”

Edwardsville had a photo booth for competitors to take Christmas-oriented photos and provided each girl with candy canes. Seniors from each team were acknowledged at the end of the competition.

Edwardsville High School placed first in the varsity and junior varsity portions of the meet for large schools. Liberty and Lincoln Middle Schools earned second and third in the large middle school competition.
