The Ogallala Girls Wrestling team is rolling out OG MAT CLUB: Limited Edition Attire, available for one week only! The shop will close on January 30th.
This is more than a shirt. It represents who we are! OG MAT CLUB is about belonging. The mat is where the work gets done, where confidence is built, and where nothing is given. “OG” stands for our school and our pride. “Mat Club” stands for the grind. Early mornings, hard practices, blood, sweat, and tears.
If you step on the mat and give your best, you’re part of the club.
ALL HEART. ALL FIGHT.
Thank you for supporting Ogallala Girls Wrestling. 🖤🧡
