Additionally, two of their cheerleading groups are going to regionals this weekend. Oviedo Pop Warner JV Cheerleading was nationally ranked fifth in the nation after last year’s competition.
The squad will return to nationals this year, held at the Orange County Convention Center in December. “I just was wondering who or how we can shed light on this because I feel like it’s a big deal not only to the kids but also our local areas,” Whipple stated.
