Eastchester, Putnam Valley, John Jay-East Fishkill win NY cheer titles

Three Section 1 teams won state championships at the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Game Day Cheer meet Nov. 8 at Hudson Valley Community College in Troy. In the competition, which was divided by enrollment, Putnam Valley won in Class C, Eastchester won in Class B and John Jay-East Fishkill won in Class A. The victory for Eastchester was their third consecutive state title - a first in the sport since its inception at the state championship level in 2023. The win for Putnam Valley was its second straight state title and third in four years. And John Jay-East Fishkill won its first state title and the first ever for a Dutchess County school. Cheer has two different competition seasons in New York. Game day cheer is for activities and routines - as is evident in the name - that happen on a game day. The other season is competitive cheerleading, more based on routines, which takes place in the winter, with state championships held in March in Binghamton. Eastchester, as it was in its other two state championships, is coached by Stephanie Leone. "What made this season so strong was our ability to evolve while maintaining
