Jonathan Evans Says Stage Malfunction Cancels Myrtle Beach Cheer Competition

A stage malfunction at The Hangout in myrtle beach forced a cheerleading competition off the schedule on Sunday morning. One person was injured before the event began, and the competition did not go ahead.

Jonathan Evans, a captain with the Myrtle Beach Fire Department, said the stage malfunctioned before the event. He also said one person was injured, but no one from the competition was injured.

Sunday Morning Cancellation

The competition was scheduled to take place at The Hangout, a Myrtle Beach venue already set up for the event. Instead, the malfunction changed the day immediately for anyone planning to compete, work, or attend.

One Injury, No Team Injury

The sharpest detail is the split between the injury and the competition itself: one person was hurt, but no one from the competition was injured. That leaves the incident tied to the venue’s stage rather than to the athletes on the schedule, and it explains why the cancellation came before the cheer event could begin.

For people tied to the event, the practical result is simple: Sunday morning at The Hangout ended with a canceled competition and one injury, not a completed program. The immediate concern now sits with the injured person and whatever follow-up The Hangout and local responders handle from here.
