The Plymouth Wildcats scored a 141.225 to 131.275 win.

COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Saturday’s Stick it for a Cure cancer fundraiser at Coldwater High School will be different but the purpose remains the same.
The 11th annual gymnastics meet and silent auction that raises awareness and funding for cancer patients and survivors in Branch County is being hosted once again by the Coldwater High School Gymnastics Team.
All proceeds from the event will benefit the ProMedica Coldwater Cancer Center.
Last year, the Stick It For A Cure Silent Auction raised money to buy new recliner chairs for cancer patients to sit in while receiving chemotherapy.
