Millbrook cheerleaders bring home Carolina Cup
Moments before the Millbrook varsity cheerleading team took the floor at last week's seventh annual NCHSAA state invitational cheerleading competition championships, head coach Kathryn Dyer was taken aback by how even-tempered her squad was.
Two months of practicing and perfecting their routine came down to their next two and a half minute performance, yet the Lady Wildcats were "hauntingly calm" beforehand, Dyer said. "In fact, I was a little worried by it."
But the squad hit the matted floor at the Raleigh Convention Center and didn't just shine, but nailed their performance, recording the highest cumulative score in the entire competition and winning the event's top honor, the Carolina Cup.
