Software update on the podcast mixer means...cheesy sound effects! Our Coach Paige and her dancers are now sectional champs, and she shares insider thoughts on how the day felt different and if the team's performance felt different from expectations. We run though a few highlights from each sectional, including some great seasons for non-qualifiers. State Week: there are send-offs, bus decor, hotel capers, and fan tips for the arena. And lastly, confirmation that Illinois' sectional and state systems bring out the best and worst in people. Bonus: the halftime team that did sidelines this past week for...swim team!
