RALEIGH — Raleigh Millbrook captured the top honor, the Carolina Cup, in the seventh annual North Carolina High School Athletic Association state invitational cheerleading championships at the Raleigh Convention Center on Saturday.

Cheer Ltd., Inc., one of the NCHSAA¹s corporate partners that assists with the invitational championship, established the Carolina Cup to recognize annually the top high school varsity cheerleading team in the state. Millbrook won the Cup for earning the highest cumulative score in the whole competition among varsity teams, regardless of the division in which they compete, with 278.4 points en route to winning the super large varsity division.

Jamestown Ragsdale, Cardinal Gibbons, North Gaston and Raleigh Sanderson are the previous winners of the Carolina Cup.

Davie County took top honors in the large varsity co-ed class while West Iredell won the small varsity coed division.

Weddington was the winner in the large varsity division, while Raleigh Leesville Road captured top honors in the medium varsity category and North Gaston was first in the small varsity category.

In non-tumble competition, Hampstead Topsail was the champion in the small varsity and Elizabeth City Northeastern was the top team in the large varsity division.

Among the junior varsity teams competing, Raleigh Cardinal Gibbons took top honors in the large JV division, Currituck won the small JV, and Camden won the junior varsity non-tumble. A special needs group from Millbrook also performed and was recognized for their efforts.

A record number of 115 teams participated in the event.

Yes, Millbrook is an awesome team. An awesome team that also got a 5 minute long brake right in the middle of there routine when there music malfunctioned. Any team that gets a breather like that would do better then the teams that did there entire routine in only 3 minutes or less. I don't think thats a fair advantage to have over the other teams in the running for the Carolina Cup.

As for GIbbons, why do they keep crying? so what you didn't win states? You are not even a public school. Are you really going to throw a hissy fit about it and try and get your scores changed? You dropped a 360 and had 4 teams with fronts spots. Broughton did stretch doubles downs as an opening. With 5 times, and no front spots. Gibbons can tumble but they whine like like private school kids. Broughton's tumbling was not all that but there stunting compared to Gibbions was at an elite level. Fulls don't make a routine..

So let me see if I understand this. Your "inside source" was a group of coaches that got together and all agreed that C.G. should have been the winner? To me, an "inside source" would have to have been a judge. So in essence, your comment has no merit. Maybe those other coaches had the common sense to keep their thoughts to themselves and not make an issue of it on this post. Go Millbrook!!!!

I apologize for making people upset. That was not my intention. Like I said earlier, Millbrook has an AWESOME team. Their coach and girls work really hard. Let me explain where my comment came from. At the end of the competition last night, a few coaches had said that there was a problem with the score sheets and that the results were not correct. I posted the comment to see if anyone else had heard that last night as well.

Why would you want to post such a horrible comment and try to take away the pride and sense of accomplishment for a job well done by a team that worked incredibly hard for this? You obviously have a reason for doing this kbocchino, why don't you share with us your reasoning?????

Actually, not at all. I am friends with Millbrook's coach and Cardinal Gibbons's coach. Both teams did a fabulous job.

According to an inside source, scores were wrong. Apparently Cardinal Gibbons should have won their division and the Carolina Cup.
