On Monday of march 19th the Eleanor Roosevelt cheerleaders took themselves to Riverside to stunt against Martin Luther King and Norco High school. What a competition it was with Roosevelt taking the win from both teams in the end.

The way these competitions work are the two teams have four rounds within four quarters. Both teams have the same routines containing stunts or tumbling or both. when the music starts they all start  doing heir routines side by side each other as the judges watch and determine who will win that round based on their execution.

Norco and Roosevelt were on and ready to compete. Roosevelt took the first three rounds and leaded Norco until the end. Norco soon tied up the game but Roosevelt would finish it off with that dub.

When it was time for King to step up and face Roosevelt the cheerleaders were a little but nervous.

Roosevelt then leads King up two points in the last round and it became a close one and up to the judges. The judges decided to give the Roosevelt girls just enough points to win king High school.
