🔥 Panthers showed OUT at the North Knight Invitational! 🔥

The North Knight Invitational proved once again why it’s one of the toughest tournaments of the year — and our Panthers rose to the challenge! 💪🐾

After a long, hard-fought day, the spotlight landed on Freshman Bri Dezarn and Sophomore Garrett Young — and they delivered!

🥉 Bri Dezarn battled through a stacked bracket, dropping a tough match for 3rd but securing an impressive 4th place finish. Huge heart. Huge effort. The future is bright! 💥

🥇 Garrett Young absolutely dominated, running the table with his longest match lasting just 1:06. Garrett walked away as the Champion and continues to set the tone for the season! 🔥🏆

Proud of these two and the work they put in.

Great job, Bri and Garrett! Panther Nation is behind you! ❤️🤍🐾

Congratulations Devlin!
