The Ernest Ward Middle School cheerleaders headed to Orlando Thurday to complete in the national cheerleading finals this weekend, and they have already made it to the final round.

The EWMS cheerleaders took first place in the Universal Cheerleaders Association West Florida Regional in November at Tate High School.
