COLUMBUS, Ohio — Under the Friday night lights of the football stadium at Independence High School, Lauren Flynn rallied her pep squad.
Just minutes into the game against the Marion-Franklin Red Devils, the Independence 76ers had marched into the opposing team’s territory, and the crowd needed a little coaxing to come alive.
“All right, ya’ll, let’s hear an I-H-S!” Flynn shouted at the group of six cheerleaders assembled on the track near the 50-yard line.
