FYFC Cheerleaders End Season at New England Championships

Three squads of cheerleaders from the Framingham Youth Football and Cheerleading (FYFC) program competed in the New England Championships in Manchester, New Hampshire over the weekend.

The seventh grade squad scored the highest score of the three Framingham teams, with a score of 63.6; but the team failed to win the New England title.

If a Framingham squad won the New England title, they would have qualified for the American Youth Football (AYF) National Cheer Championships in Florida in December.

The sixth grade cheer team scored a 63 and the grade 8 cheerleaders scored a 60, but both also failed to win the New England title. First place for grade 8 was a score of 70. The high score for grade 6 was 77.
