March 13th, Sunday aftertoon, Coach Matt Monteiro brought his team to Wachusette High School for the states cheerleading competition to compete for the division 3 state title.
After Regionals, the girls practiced for four days working hard and doing whatever it took to hit a perfect routine. Former Gloucester coach, Eric Bichao, came to practices to help the team out to win a state title.
The team won the state title with a score of 91.375. All of the girls on the team jumped up and down screaming and crying when the announcer announced us for first place. "When the sun lit up on us in the pyramid in warmups I knew that had to mean something," says Coach Monteiro.
The girls hit a perfect routine even without dance music. Who needs dance music? The music for the cheerleaders had a scratch on the CD and stopped at the beginning of the dance but the girls kept dancing like nothing happened. After hitting our routine Eric said, "I don't know who this team is anymore...and that's a good thing. You girls finally know what passion is and I don't know what can top that."
