The Portland Competitive Cheer team is heading back to a very familiar place this weekend, the State Championships! Portland has been to the state finals the last two years in a row and finished second in the Regional finals to advance to the state match Saturday March 2nd at 11am from Central Michigan University. This year feels different as they have both experience and a hunger to win that is stronger than it’s ever been.
“This is our 3rd year in a row going to State Finals. Our 3rd Round at State Finals last year wasn't our best so the girls were eager to prove themselves this season.” Portland coach Mindy Blaschka said of the Raiders State run this year. “Their theme this year was "THIS IS IT" - The girls took that to heart and wanted every performance to be better than the last. They are resilient, kind and keep fighting towards their goals no matter what is thrown at them.”
Portland is a senior heavy team with nine seniors leading the way. They have the confidence they need and what it will take to finish the very best. Most importantly there is a togetherness amongst them that has bonded this team into an unbreakable unit.
“This years journey back to states was unique because our main goal was to see growth in our scores each week and that goal kept us motivated, while rewarding us with a spot as one of the eight.” Portland Senior Ava Adcock commented. “Many would be surprised to know the unity and dedication (we have) to one another on the team. The positivity within us brings us together and pushes us to be stronger on and off the mat.”
