St. Margaret's Student Cheering Section "The Kitchen" Turns Up the Heat in County Rankings

The OCVarsity student section rankings are out, and the Kitchen made a respectable showing.
The Kitchen, St. Margaret's student cheering section, which burst onto the scene five years ago donning food related costumes, has gained county-wide respect for its energy and dynamic student engagement at Tartan sporting events. Ranked No. 21 out of 25 student sections, The Kitchen made the annual list, compiled by OCVaristy reporter Dan Albano, for the first time in 2020 impressing with organized mayhem in the stands.

"I'm incredibly proud of this year's group," said Director of Athletics Patrick Bendzick. "They have fostered a new level of excitement, while also being a consistent display of our school values. Their hard work is such a tremendous gift to our teams, and it makes St. Margaret's a fun place to be a student."

The students who make up The Kitchen are consummate sports fans, including timely, but respectful, chants and antics to hype up the crowd and rattle visiting opponents. Teams facing St. Margaret's in Pasternack Field House or on Tartan Field quickly discover they are firmly in "Tartan Country".

"We greatly appreciate being recognized by OCVarsity. However, that is not our aim in leading the Kitchen," said Kitchen student representative Owen Young. "We participate in this because we enjoy supporting our school and feel that we bring a new atmosphere to sporting events."
