Did you know the Central High wrestling team came in 2nd this past weekend, at a tournament in Bryant? Many schools across the state were competing, and many wrestlers from Central earned medals! Wrestling matches, tournaments, and then the final state tournament are now through February 2019. Would love to see these amazing students represented in Central High media! Ask Coach Butler for Junior Varsity and Varsity wrestling dates and times. Thanks!
