VBI Day
Most of you will find today’s entry a little blasé’.
But it’s the first day of the 29th annual Van Buren Invitational.
This is one of my favorite events to cover of the entire prep sports season. Ever since I have gotten to the Courier, it’s a rare night when one of the other writers on the staff has went out and covered wrestling.
They like it that way and I like it that way. My sports editor called me a “pit sniffer” yesterday. I guess that’s a derogatory phrase to describe a wrestling fan. I’m OK with that.
I guess I enjoy it because I wrestled my way through high school and college and even did a little coaching for 15 years or so. It’s what I know best.
Plus, I know all of the area coaches and kids involved in the sport from around the area. I’ve seen some of the coaches’ families grow up and they are some of the nicest, hard-working guy around.
In hoops you get the team ready maybe have a morning shoot around. And then coach in the game that night after about 4 hours you get to go home to your family.
In wrestling, your weekend starts with a 3 p.m. bus ride on Friday afternoon and extends all the way through Saturday night with little rest in between.
Believe me when I tell you --- it’s a full weekend.
Call me a pit sniffer if you want I don’t care. I’ll be at Van Buren this weekend writing about area wrestlers and enjoying every minute of it.
