CULLMAN, Ala. – “We have a big announcement with our competitive cheer teams winning the national championship for the league they compete in,” Cullman Parks, Recreation and Sports Tourism Executive Director Nathan Anderson told the mayor and city council members at their meeting Tuesday night. He continued, “We actually have two teams. They are called Warhead and Starburst Teams and they competed nationally and went up against the top teams in the country and won two different divisions. Nobody in our area has ever won a national competition like that to my knowledge.”
