Chase Thompson Wins National Wrestling Tournament

Accompanying Chase was his coach 2x Olympian Shawn Sheldon. Chase has been in the wrestling room all summer training for this tournament and all his hard work paid off as he leaves as a double National Champion. Chase’s goal is to wrestle in the Olympics for the United States.

Eagle Scout Helps Daggerwing
From Palm Beach County Parks:
Local Eagle Scout Bobby Bronchick chose Daggerwing Nature Center as the location for his final Eagle Scout community service project. Bobby built four butterfly houses, a bench, and a new garbage bin. One of the butterfly houses features a see-through panel for use as an educational tool.
Bobby’s project has benefited the nature center by adding elements that beautify the butterfly garden and educational enhancements for visitors. The butterfly garden and nature trails are open daily, sunrise to sunset. The exhibit building is open Wednesday-Friday, 1-4:30 p.m. and Saturday, 10 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
We think Bobby is a West Boca High student, punter on the Bulls football team, and he might like cheerleaders.
If anyone has an Eagle Scout photo of Bobby, please send it to [email protected]. We’d love to add that to this article.
