For the fourth time in school history, Oswego varsity cheer punched their ticket to state with the season ending sooner than they hoped, not continuing to day two. Co-Head Cheer Coach Emily Gaw said, “We started off so strong with multiple hits and many trophies… but the best part has honestly just been being together.” The team competed at the Grossinger Arena in Bloomington on Sat. 7, placing 14 out of 25, scoring a 89.49 out of 100. OH senior backspot and co-ed base Nick Waldron said that the biggest accomplishment for the season has been “placing first at our home comp then making it to State.”

Originally based on a book series of the same name by Frieda McFadden, Sydney Sweeney plays young Millie Calloway who starts working for a couple, The Winchesters, as a housemaid. The more she is around the family, the more she starts to uncover secrets they've been hiding, and things aren’t as perfect as they seem.

With an impressive first place finish at their first competition in Batavia last Sat., the OH cheer team has shifted from sideline cheering at games to center stage in their competitive season building on last year's success of fifth in IHSA State. The team not only prepares and performs routines for cheerleading competitions, but they also attend basketball games to cheer on their school’s team, hyping up the crowd and boosting the players’ confidence.  “My goal is to win, well not only to win, but to also improve myself,” said backspot/tumbler, junior Aydan Dunne.
