The Southern Spine & Rehab Primetime Performance goes to the Carterville Lions, who finished third in the Small Team division at the Competitive Cheerleading State Final in Bloomington this past weekend.

The Lions qualified sixth in Friday’s prelims, then improved three spots with their performance in Saturday’s finals.

This marks Carterville’s second trophy and third top 10 finish in the past three years. The Lions won a state title in 2020 and finished seventh last year.
