"You work through the hardships and you can be successful, whether it’s on the wrestling mat or in battle. Wrestling lays the foundation for what it takes to be a good officer."
1st Lt. Travis Manion, USMC and CB Raider from 1991-95
Welcome to the 2008-2009 season for the Central Bucks Raiders!
If you are returning, we are pleased to have you and your family
back. We would also like to welcome the 50+ new wrestlers and
their families to the program this year. We hope this is the
beginning of an enjoyable experience for everyone.
The Raiders program is an all-volunteer youth
sports organization dedicated to both the children and the
sport. The Board of Directors and Coaches involved in this
program give freely of their time in an effort to help the
children to reach our goals and to enjoy themselves and the
company of their teammates. We look forward to each wrestler
participating in the success of the season.
We will continue to field two East Penn wrestling
teams at the travel level again this year. We believe we realized
our goal to get all of our wrestlers more competitive matches
when we added a second team, and will continue to try to build
our program with two teams. At the intramural level, we feel
the addition of several Pennridge teams adds to the success
of the novice program. Please feel free to provide feedback
and suggestions as we try to improve these approaches.
Once again, we would like to welcome you and
your child to the Central Bucks Wrestling Federation. We are
committed to both of you and would appreciate each parent's
participation and feedback. Please feel free to speak with
us directly or email
us with your comments or suggestions. We look forward
to a rewarding season for you and your child!
Please support our 2008-2009 sponsors and help us thank them! Sponsor assistance helps keep Raiders on the mat and in the winner's circle.

Former CB Raider, 1st Lt. Travis L. Manion
was honored posthumously with the Silver Star and the Bronze Star with Valor Friday, Dec. 5 in the courtyard of the Bucks County Courthouse. The Silver Star is the military's third-highest award. Only 90 have been given since Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom began in 2002. It is awarded for extraordinary heroism. Manion, 26, was shot and killed on April 29, 2007, by a sniper while dragging two wounded Marines from his unit to safety. The Bronze Star with Valor is awarded for heroic or meritorious achievement and the Valor identifies the award as resulting from an act of combat heroism.
