In the Region 11 competitive cheer showdown, Paul Laurence Dunbar High School took first-place honors in the all-girl large division on Nov. 21 in Richmond, advancing to the state championships. In addition, Lafayette High placed first in the all-girls super division, while Tates Creek High topped the coed B contest. These two squads automatically qualified for state since no other schools fielded a team in those divisions.
In other results, Henry Clay High was runner-up in the all-girls medium category, and Tates Creek High placed fourth in the all-girls small division.
Each region’s winning school in each division moves on to the state competition. The 2015 KHSAA championships are set for Dec. 12 in the Alltech Arena at the Kentucky Horse Park.
