BLACK BEAR WRESTLING
Our Mission:
Black Bear fans, current wrestlers, former wrestlers, coaches, and former coaches:
First I would like to say a huge "Thank You" to everyone that has helped contribute something to this website. This past year I have tried very hard to track down our wrestling history. I have read hundreds of newspaper articles, clippings, yearbooks, etc. to try and track this information down for everyone to see.
None of this was information was written down anywhere, it all had to be compiled over the course of time. I hope you enjoy the information I have found and hopefully it begins to answer questions that we all have had about the program.
I am still looking for information that I just couldn't find anywhere and I am asking that if you have information I would love for you to send it to us.
Here is the list of what we are looking for:
Information, Pictures of Individuals or Teams, brackets, etc.
