The Milford Youth Football & Cheer (MYFC) U14 Cheer Team represented Milford at the AYFC National Cheer Competition held in Kissimmee, FL, on Dec. 6-10. 

The hard-working team earned a second-place finish amongst the best of the best in the AYFC tournament. The team had to place either first, second or third place at three qualifying competitions throughout the fall to be able to compete at the AYFC National Cheer Competition.

The MYFC U14 Cheer Team is comprised of 20 athletes aged ages 12-13 years old. They are led by a team of four dedicated coaches and three cheer demonstrators.

“This group of young athletes exudes perseverance. They put in the work as a team. They looked after one another as a team. It was truly a gift to witness such hard work and dedication.” said Coach Tatiana Braz

The team had to fundraise to offset the cost of traveling to Florida to compete and had a very short window of time to raise the funds needed.

“The good old fashioned hometown support was most definitely present during our fundraising efforts. We as a team couldn’t have been more excited to represent Milford and were truly grateful for all the support!” said Coach Deanna Acquafresca.
