All three of Lewis County's Mountaineer Youth Football cheerleading teams traveled to Phillip Barbour recently, with two teams competing and one putting on a exhibition performance.

The Pee Wee squad also competed in a 13-team field and didn't place despite a good effort. The team won the praise of its coach, Amy Short, for all the work its members put in this season.
