OROVILLE >> The Catch of the day turned out to be none other Catch Berton-Devore of Skycatch Gymnastics.
Competing in Level 6 of the Men’s Level 6-10 State Championships on March 18-19 in Oroville, Berton-Devore and Skycatch teammate Tanner Broyles turned in strong performances in several events and were well rewarded by the judges.
