GATESVILLE – The Coastal Athletic Conference Middle School Cheer Competition was hosted by Central Middle School on Saturday, Feb. 3.

Cheerleaders were able to show off their technical and crowd leading skills to the fans. They did an outstanding job and are to be commended for their confidence and ability to work as a team in synchronized formations while throwing and catching bodies through the air, tumbling, jumping, conducting motions and chants while remaining synchronized.

The following exhibition cheer teams supported the event: Chowan University Sapphire Cheer Squad, and Gates County High School Red Barons.
