BILOXI, Miss. (WLOX) - COVID-19 has canceled many events and with things slowly trying to get back to normal, cheerleading competitions are operating differently.
The Deep South Gulf Coast Champions League competition began Friday for the fourth year, according to Deep South Spirit President David Hanberry.
On Saturday, Hanberry said COVID-19 raised fear that the annual cheer competition wouldn’t take place, but with planning proper safety procedures, the show went on.
