Dozens of Santa Clarita families were awakened by the sounds of barking dogs in the pre-dawn hours of Sunday, as senior members of the West Ranch Cheer team corralled dispirited underclassman, weary after an intensive week of summer training. In scenes reminiscent of The Spirit of Christmas Past, kidnapped underclassmen were hauled away under hoods of secrecy, leaving pillow buddy pets confused and bewildered, and taken to an undisclosed location. Operation Wildcat Spirit was conducted for the sole purpose of re-energizing the Spirit of West Ranch Cheer, as the Varsity and Junior Varsity squads embark on their final week of Summer training. Senior leaders are reporting the operation went as planned, and expressed confidence that the Spirit of West Ranch will be proudly represented. Go Wildcats!!!! |
