Ponte Vedra won its first state cheer championship, winning the Class 1A medium division on Wednesday night. Snyder earned the small, non-tumbling title and West Nassau edged Baldwin in the medium, non-tumbling division in a clash between two of the state’s best. The Warriors edged Snyder, 88.5-87.6. That was a change from regionals when Baldwin beat West Nassau (81.8-81.4).
Baldwin had won three straight championships in the large, non-tumbling division. This year, the Indians were packaged with West Nassau in the medium division.
