March 27, 2012

EAST LANSING -- Representatives from the Frankenmuth High School student cheering section were presented with an MHSAA championship banner Friday at Michigan State's Breslin Center in honor of winning this season's "Battle of the Fans" competition.

Frankenmuth finished first from a group of finalists that also included Rockford, Grand Rapids Christian, Petoskey and Reese. This was the first year of the contest, which was created by the MHSAA's Student Advisory Council and then administered by MHSAA staff and SAC members.

A total of 19 schools submitted applications, and MHSAA staff and SAC members then visited all five finalists. The champion was crowned based on votes by both the advisory council and the public via the MHSAA Facebook page.
