Congrats to our Bengal Wrestlers @ State this past weekend!!
Austin P. 3rd in State (150 lbs) & Jason J. 5th (175 lbs). From the first practice to the state podium - what a journey.
Placing @ State is a huge accomplishment & Bengal Nation couldn’t be prouder.

Bengal Nation had a roaring good time @ the Turnabout Assembly leading up to the dance. Wild games between grades & staff with many laughs filled the gym.
