BANGOR – The Class A and Class D state cheerleading championships will be held Monday at 6 p.m. after they were postponed from Saturday due to a water main break near the Bangor Auditorium.

Teams will be allowed to register starting at 4 p.m.

The finals will begin at approximately 8:10 and awards will be handed out at about 9:15.

The water main break, which was located on Buck Street behind the Auditorium, occurred Saturday at around 10-10:30 a.m. It affected a pipe running to the building which left the Auditorium without restroom facilities for the Classes B and C competitions, which started at 10 a.m.

Officials from Bass Park and the Maine Principals’ Association, which runs the cheerleading championships, decided at about 2:15 p.m. Saturday to postpone states until Monday.

A combined 16 Class A and Class D teams had already checked in. Defending Class D state champion Fort Fairfield turned around and went home after the announcement was made.

“We’re ready for anything,” Tigers coach Kelly Bubar said with a shrug as her team filed out of a near-empty Auditorium. “We’re being tested, I guess, to see if we can hold it together. We have a couple of kids with the flu, so they’ll get a rest.”

Fort Fairfield had about a 328-mile round trip, while Western Maine team Marshwood of South Berwick’s round trip was about 360 miles.
