TOP QUOTE
"I was so proud of the Compulsory Acro. Our Compulsory tumbling score was ridiculously high although I think we deserved it. Our girls really answered on that. Just getting in the nines is a big deal for that heat," said head coach Felecia Mulkey. "All of our Acro heats were impressive. Some of those were put together just this week. Their mentality has changed so much in the past two weeks. That's what it came down to when we had a Pyramid heat not go the way we wanted. Being able to come back and answer that was huge for this team."
WHAT'S NEXT
The Bears will travel to Bristol, Tenn., to take on the King Tornado on Saturday, Feb. 21, at 4 p.m. (CT).
