"It's about RESPECT - we salute the flag and we shake our opponents hand." - Chad Willard, CHS Head Wrestling Coach and Asst. Athletic Director. Salute to Service / Military Appreciation Night(s) - These events are awesome! Last night's Wrestling "Salute to Service" was indicative of a school, district, and community committed to honoring those who have served, those who are serving, and those that will serve. "Standing in the gym, named after former Claremore football coach and local legend Frank Mobra who was also a WWII Marine - now that's a heritage and legacy to reflect on," Col. John Rahe. CHS Wrestling finished the night with a 51-12 varsity win and a 63-15 JV win over Bartlesville. Save the dates for our next Salute to Service Nights - March 8 (Soccer) and March 10 (Baseball). #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
