Girls Pom Pon team wraps up competition

The girls pom pon team continues its season performing at halftime of Clarkston’s basketball games through the end of this month.
This season the girls took eighth place at the Great Lakes Invitational at Lake Orion High School in early November and sixth place at the 16th annual Palace Pom Pon Competition on Jan. 20.
Coach Erin Montera said the girls? performances contained a higher degree of difficulty and the skill level of their dancers has improved this season.
‘They did well. They worked as a group and did the best performance they could,? Montera said.
‘Our level of difficulty as far as leaps and turns, we did really well at that.?
At the Jan. 26 basketball game, the girls sold raffle tickets to raise money to help African families fight Malaria. Items from Detroit Pistons and the Clarkston boys basketball team were up for bids.
