Our Seniors had a great time meeting and talking to students at Donald E. Suburu Elementary in Bakersfield!! They were able to talk to them about their experiences and teach them a little bit of wrestling!! #CentralValleysWrestlingTeam

One hour.

That’s all @calbaptist and @DrMicahParker gave its wrestlers to grab their belongings before locking them out.

No transition. No alternatives. No answers.

Now they’re laying down mats at the park just to keep their dreams alive.

We’re not backing down.

There’s never a bad time to do the right thing. Let’s #KeepCBUWrestling!

What do you think @DrMicahParker & @CBULancers? People make silly decisions at times, but how you respond matters the most. With well over $1M raised & climbing fast, there’s a better way!
