The Black Diamond All-Stars brought seven teams to the NorCal competition at the Sacramento Memorial Auditorium in November. The event attracted the top cheerleading programs in Northern California and gave the Diamonds the opportunity to make all their hard work this season pay off. The Dazzle Youth team and the Sparkle tiny teams were the stars of the day – both came home with second-place trophies. Next up for the Black Diamond all-star and performance teams is a USA competition on Dec. 4. For more information on these nationally ranked teams, call Black Diamond Kids Center at  925-516-6619  or visit www.blackdiamondallstars.com.
