The Morse High School cheerleading squad will host the seventh annual Maine Cheer Coaches Association Showcase on Saturday at Bath Middle School.

Doors open for spectators at 8:30 a.m., with competition set to begin at 11 a.m.

Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for students and seniors. Kids under 5 are free. There will be full concession, vendors with Dippin Dots, Cake pops, Tocara jewelry, Bows, Bling, and Tshirts will be available for purchase.

In all, 24 high school Cheering competition teams are coming from as far south as Kennebunk and as far north as Winslow to compete against each other in this event, the first cheering competition of the 2018 season. This is the second year in a row that Morse Cheering has had the privilege of hosting this annual event.

There will be both north and south division competitions, with the north event being held at Old Town on Saturday.

This is a showcase, where the teams can take to the mat with their newly choreographed routines and get a full scoresheet from judges. Although there will not be awards given, each team will get a tally sheet of what the scores are and will be able to use the feedback from the judges to work on the routines for their upcoming conference and regional competitions.

The Morse team includes seniors Nicole Jewett (Captain), Zoe Pascuzzo, junior Rianna Green ( Captain), sophomores Elli Bonzagni, Nikki Brahzee, Tiffany Reed, Elizabeth Schotten, and freshman Catelyn Bradford, Ali Burns, Olivia Fuller, Ella McWalters, Acadia Morse, Courtney Nicolino, Alex Poland and Aroura Rock. The head coach of the Shipbuilders is Heidi Kirkpatrick. Deirdre Jewett is her assistant.
