Cass Lake-Bena High School is buzzing with pride and excitement after senior standout Gabby Fineday etched her name into the history books. During a thrilling performance on the court, Fineday shattered the school’s all-time scoring record for girls’ basketball, cementing her legacy as one of the greatest athletes in school history. The achievement is the culmination of years of dedication, perseverance, and an undeniable passion for the game. From the moment she first donned the maroon and black, Fineday showcased her natural talent and work ethic, quickly rising as a key player for the Panthers. With her record-breaking basket, she surpassed a milestone many athletes can only dream of achieving. Fineday’s scoring ability has been a cornerstone of the Panthers’ success throughout her career. Whether it’s a smooth three-pointer, a fearless drive to the basket, or clutch free throws in high-pressure moments, she has consistently delivered for her team. This latest accomplishment is not only a testament to her individual brilliance but also a reflection of the support from her teammates, coaches, and the Cass Lake-Bena community. While breaking the girls’ scoring record is a monumental feat, Fineday’s journey isn’t over. With games still left in her senior season, she now turns her focus to the school’s overall all-time scoring record, a mark that has stood as a symbol of excellence in Cass Lake-Bena basketball history. As she continues to lead her team both on and off the court, fans can expect more electrifying performances from Fineday. Her pursuit of the overall scoring title will undoubtedly draw even larger crowds, eager to witness history in the making. Gabby Fineday’s legacy at Cass Lake-Bena High School is secure, but her story is far from finished. As she strives for new heights, she serves as an inspiration to young athletes across the community, proving that with hard work and determination, anything is possible.

There might be confusion where the GBB game is tonight. The game is in Pine River. The JH will be in the HS gym. And both JV and V will play in the performance gym. Thank you for your patience!
