The Cheer Hounds turned in a top finish just before the most important stretch of the season over the weekend. Jones County’s competition cheerleaders claimed first-place honors at Saturday’s Fear To Cheer meet in Loganville. Jones County takes the floor again in the region meet on Nov. 8 at Walnut Grove, an event that will serve as the qualifying event for the Nov. 14 GHSA Class AAAA state cheerleading championships at the Macon Coliseum.
