The Sweet Home Huskiettes dance team opened its competitive season at Thurston Saturday, with a third-place finish and three other awards. “We had a great day,” Coach Kristin Ashcraft said. ” It was good to get the first competition jitters out. We got the friendship award, which is voted in by all the teams. We also received a special recognition from the judges. We earned the Most Entertaining Award. This is a big compliment.”
