I’m so proud of these kids. This means the world, not only to these kids, but to represent the high school of Bennett, Western New York and the City of Buffalo. All of the adversity that we had through Section VI really brought us together and made us a more tight-knit family.
The Tigers lost the championship last year, making this win even sweeter. The win is Bennett’s first state title.
