The Florala Wildcats finished in third place behind 2A Sand Rock High School (AL) and 5A Hayden High School (TN).  As one Florala Coach stated of Sand Rock's first place finish,  "[Sand Rock is] one of the best 2A squads I've ever seen".  For Florala's first ever National Competition the Coaches were extremely pleased with their performance -  "We were concerned with several injuries that our cheerleaders were performing through". 

The Opp Bobcats competed at the medium varsity level 4 classification and also placed third in the two day event competing against the likes of Wilson High School - Bryan-Station High School and others.
