🏀🐾 Panthers Leave It All on the Floor 🐾🏀
The Cass Lake-Bena Panthers battled until the final buzzer tonight in a tightly contested game against Pine River-Backus. The final score was 61–59, but the fight, effort, and heart shown by our Panthers told a bigger story.
This team competed the entire way. Every possession mattered. Every player stepped up. Games like tonight are tough, but they are also the moments that build programs, character, and future success.
The Panthers proved they belong. They proved they can compete with anyone. And most importantly, they showed what it means to represent Cass Lake-Bena with pride.
To our seniors, thank you for the leadership you brought to this program. To the underclassmen, the message is clear. Keep working. Keep building. The future of Panther basketball is strong.
Panther Nation, thank you for the support all season long. The journey continues.

The Personal Writing classes from the high school have partnered with kindergarteners and first graders this school year to read together. The first time the high schoolers visited, the first graders read to them. On the second visit, the big kids returned with books they had created to read to their little friends. The books were about cultural topics, animal friends, and everything in between. It was a great experience and fun was had by all!
