The North Raleigh Bulldogs Silver and the Durham Screaming Eagles football teams, along with five cheerleading teams and one dance team, will continue their quests for national championships after winning regional titles on Saturday in Gastonia.

Each football team won its Pop Warner Mid-South Region championship, and the cheer and dance teams finished either first or second, to advance to the Dec. 4-11 Pop Warner Football Championships and National Cheer and Dance Championships at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.

Six other football teams, like the Bulldogs and Eagles part of the Triangle's Consolidated Football Federation, saw their seasons end in Saturday's regional finals.

The Cary Chargers won the Junior Midget Division III title at the Pop Warner Mid-South Region Championships
on Saturday in Charlotte, and nine cheerleading teams and one dance
team (see the list below) finished in the top three in the region to
advance to the Pop Warner national championships.

All of the teams represent organizations within the Triangle's Consolidated Football Federation.

Following their June win on BET's nationally-syndicated program "106 and Park Wild Out Wednesday," the Wildcats cheerleaders from East Chapel Hill High are gearing up for a return visit to the show Aug. 5.

The girls on the team are hoping their formula of "sassy but classy" (not to mention the support of friends and family who can vote on BET's website at home) will help them beat their new competition.

You can watch a clip of their June performance on BET's website here.

The show is scheduled to broadcast live Aug. 5 at 6 p.m. on BET.
