First phase of the IHSA State '25 wrap! Coach Paige takes us behind the scenes of her team's wild run to Day 2 of IHSA State. The experience, the reaction of being Top 12 on Day 1, finding out their 4th place position, and the point when they reached Cinderella status -- all covered, first-hand. And diid her team just write a new textbook on how to have a "good" season and transform it into a magical rise and finish. Factored in: the classic debate of cleaning vs. changing a routine -- one way definitely worked for her team. And IHSA State sparked a little preview of some future episode topics: a key difference between the season arcs of big 3A teams vs 1A and 2A teams, and...why does sports media cover cheer more than dance?
