LEWISTOWN, Pa. – There may still be some football left to play, but the Central Keystone Youth Football & Cheer League (CKYFCL) wrapped up the bulk of the 2025 cheer season on Saturday with its annual Cheer Competition at Mifflin County High School.
Champions were crowned in each division, with the Kish Indians claiming top honors in each division of competition.
Along with the main division championships, the league also crowned three additional award winners – including a brand new honor – to round out an exciting day on the mats.
The Spirit Award went to the Derry-Decatur Cyclones, while the Community Service Award went to the Burnham Bulldogs.
This year saw the crowning of a league Cheer Coach of the Year as well. Terrace Tigers cheer coach Tricia Schaeffer was honored at the 2025 CKYFCL Coach of the Year for her efforts during the 2025 season. Coach of the Year honors were voted on by Schaeffer’s peers.
