PITTSFIELD — After finishing the fall season with a second-place finish at the state championships, the Pittsfield High Cheerleaders, just two points short of an invitation to nationals, set their sights on a strong winter season.

On Feb. 9, at the Chicopee Comprehensive High School tournament, both the Varsity and JV cheerleaders took home first-place finishes.

The success continued seven days later with two more first-place finishes, this time at the West Springfield tournament. The Varsity crew also claimed the title of Grand Champions by outscoring 25 other teams.

Just a day later, the varsity squad racked up a second-place finish at the South Hadley High School tournament.

The Generals added a bronze-medal performance at the Shepherd Hill tournament on Feb. 22, before taking another first-place finish at the Berkshire County and Pioneer Valley League Championship on Feb. 24.

Pittsfield, led by captions Ally Guyer and Jenitza Rodriguez, outscored 21 teams and qualified for the Western Mass. Regional tournament.

The tournament begins Sunday, March 3 at Shepherd Hill High School. With another strong performance, the Generals will have a shot at the state tournament, which is held at Tantasqua High School on March 10.
