The goal of all three teams was to have solid, clean performances.  All three Yorkville teams executed great routines with zero deductions.  The goal for the next competition is to increase difficulty in all aspects of the routines.

The next competition for the YHS cheer teams is December 10 at Lincoln-Way North High School in Frankfort.  The YHS teams will be joined by the two YMS teams for a competition on December 18 at Joliet West High School.
