The Tug Valley Cheerleaders won their region in the Class AA Cheer Championship Nov. 7. Because of the postponement, Tug Valley will have to wait to compete for the state championship.
Wednesday’s decision follows a Wayne County Circuit Court decision that restored Tolsia to second place in the regional tournament, qualifying the squad for state this Saturday.
The commission says a penalty for an illegal and unsafe routine at regionals dropped Tolsia fourth and out of state. It’s considering appealing to the state Supreme Court.
Mike Ranson, a lawyer for the Wayne County school board, says the circuit court ruled correctly that a regional tournament judge violated commission rules by seeking help from a spectator. Ranson called the postponement “outrageous.”
Class A and AAA tournaments are proceeding as scheduled.
