There was a saying that went around the state this year that the only time Bennington lost during their 28-0 Class B state championship season was in practice against their freshman. Indeed, you’ll see five of them ranked here in our 2029 rankings spearheaded by Gargano who scored 131 points and grabbed 87 rebounds during her freshman campaign. A standout in weekend one for ETG, she averaged 7.3 points and 3.5 rebounds. An elite athlete, Gargano has already set the Bennington High School long jump record this spring. She should be on nearly everyone’s radar as the spring and summer progress.

Bennington made a big run last Winter. They played consistent ball all season long. That resulted in an awesome overall record for the team and a lot hope looking toward the near future. After seeing the rotations last Winter, I think the Paige Gargano Paige Gargano 5'10" | SF Bennington | 2029 State NE might have a chance to play up out of her age group. I’m not sure if that is at the Jv/Sophmore or Varsity level but she has ample promise and she is crafty. Those two things can take you places on the hardwood, much like in life. If she can do her thing and keep it simple, she is going to like how the season ends up as a whole.
