This past Sunday, November 17, The Hopkinton Cheerleaders (HC) competed in the South Regional Cheerleading Championships at Dartmouth High School, Dartmouth MA. There were three other Regional competitions going on simultaneously; North, Central and West at different locations throughout the state. The South Regional is, by far, the biggest regional competition and arguably the toughest. The Hopkinton Coaches and Cheerleaders went into this competition with high hopes knowing they would be going up against the best of the best. Well their “hopes” materialized in a way they may have anticipated but, in actuality, was exceeded.

Hopkinton Cheerleaders won the South Regional Cheerleading Championships with the highest score of the day, besting 31 other cheer squads, in ALL divisions. But it wasn’t until later in the day, when all scores were tabulated from all the competitions throughout the state, that Melissa Zwang (HC Head Coach) became aware that the Hopkinton Cheerleaders had the highest score IN THE STATE. Better than 72 other teams. Congratulations to the Hopkinton Cheerleaders!! Your hard work is truly paying off! A special thank you to Eric Karjel, Athletic Director, Hopkinton High School, for coming to Dartmouth, on a Sunday morning, to support the fantastic group of young ladies. Next up…. States! Come make some noise for your Hillers at Wachusett Regional High School, 1401 Main Street, Holden MA. Time has yet to be determined but will be posted midweek at http://www.mssaa.org/contentm/easy_pages/view.php?sid=35&page_id=11
