SYLVESTER, GA - October 31, 2026 - The Ware County Lady Gators Competition Cheer Team turned in its best performance of the season on Saturday, October 31, 2026, capturing first place at the Sue Youngblood Invitational hosted by Worth County High School in Sylvester, Georgia.
The Lady Gators delivered an outstanding performance, earning a season-high score of 97.5 to claim the invitational championship. The impressive score marked the team's highest of the 2026 competition season and provided a strong showing as Ware County prepares to enter postseason competition.
