Now Central Baptist College wrestlers and coaches will have that feeling, as the mat program at the Arkansas-based school moves into its new home all its own.
CBC Mustang wrestling fans will get to explore the new 3,750 square foot facility at a special open house on Friday, Sept. 15, sponsored by the Conway (Ark.) Chamber of Commerce.
"Words alone cannot express how grateful and thankful I am about the new wrestling center," said Central Baptist head wrestling coach Ken Prophete. "Entering into my eighth season as the head wrestling coach at CBC, it has been a recruiting promise to my wrestlers that we will have a bigger and better (space) and this 2017-18 season we will fulfill that promise."
"It is a blessing and I give all the glory to God for placing the right people to help make this dream a reality," Prophete continued. "We plan to make the best of our new opportunity this season in our new wrestling center."
The main donor who made the CBC wrestling room a reality is Greg Hatcher of The Hatcher Agency, a major supporter of wrestling in the state of Arkansas and beyond. CBC's wrestling team will have the new building on a three-year lease.
Prior to the new CBC wrestling facility, the Mustang mat stars practiced at Reddin Fieldhouse and other campus sports facilities.
Founded in 1952, Central Baptist College is a four-year, private school affiliated with the Baptist Missionary Commission of Arkansas. The school, located in Conway, Ark., has approximately 900 students. Its sports teams, the Mustangs, compete in NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics).
