Competitive Cheer: Stone Bridge Edges Fairfax for Nothern Region Title; Briar Woods Qualifies for AA States

(Nov. 7, 2009) - The Stone Bridge High School competitive cheer squad is in position to capture a fifth VHSL state title after the Bulldogs edged Liberty District rival Fairfax Saturday night to win a Northern Region title. Stone Bridge scored 263 points, just 0.5 points ahead of Fairfax at 262.5.

Also advancing to states from the Northern Region are Chantilly and Herndon. Stone Bridge has now won three Northern Region titles and five overall regional titles.

At the Region II meet at Orange County High School, Dulles District champion Briar Woods earned its first ever state bid by advancing to the final four Saturday. Broad and Potomac Falls, mainstays at the AA state meet the past several years, did not advance.

Brentsville, Louisa and Sherando will join Briar Woods at the AA state meet. Please check back for places.
