After back-to-back second-place finishes at the MCCA State Cheerleading Championships, the Neelyville Lady Tigers took down perennial power Putnam County to win the 1A Small Division title.

“We still can’t decide if this is a dream or if it’s real,” the squad said in a Facebook post. “Thank you to our amazing parents for supporting us on this journey.”

The Lady Tigers also had several earn all-state honors. Livvy Isom (back-stop), Lora Ainley (base), Merin Inman (jumps), Maci Wlodarcik (jumps and tumbling), Brooklyn Piroli (top ranking flyer) and Maddie Lumby (jumps & top ranking tumbling) all earned the accolade.
