The lights are bright. The stage is big. And our Raiders are rising to the moment. ❤️🖤

Wyatt and Drake are wrestling for a championship on Saturday — and Raider Nation couldn’t be prouder of the way they battled to get there.

Silas, Blaze, Carsen, and Koltan went 1-1, and Noah fought tough. Every single one of them left it all on the mat and represented Southern with grit, heart, and pride.

Small-school toughness. Big-stage moments.
Raider Nation stands behind you — let’s finish strong. 💪🔥
