BCMS cheerleaders overcome adversity to win.

One of the most jarring, unsettling things that can happen to any cheerleading squad during a competition is to have their music malfunction. That happpened to the Bleckley County Middle School cheer squad while competing at the Sweet Onion Cheer Classic hosted by Vidalia High School Saturday. In the middle of their routine, the music just stopped. However, BC would go on, sticking everything and won first place in the A/AA division. They return to action October 28 at the Rumble in the Jungle hosted by Swainsboro High School.
