Three cheers for Case High cheerleaders: The squad won its 3rd straight championship title

Three times was a charm for the Joseph Case High School cheerleading squad.

The Cardinals recently won their third consecutive title this winter, winning the Division IV New England championship in their final competition of the season at Worcester State University.

It's the first time in school history Case has captured first place in the New England tournament.

"The coaches are so unbelievably proud of this team and all of their accomplishments," Cardinals head coach Ashley Mello said. "[We] are extremely excited for years to come. This is just the beginning for this team."
