Please be sure to attend the Rich Vos Memorial Tournament

The Rich Vos Memorial Tournament is tomorrow, Saturday, December 29, at the B-B-E High School.

It's the continuation of what Coach Vos had going as a fundraiser for the B-B-E wrestling program, an old-timers tournament. Doors open at 10:30am with wrestling to begin at noon. There will be two divisions, ages 19 to 25 and 26 and up. All competitors will be one year removed from high school or collegiate competition.

Concessions will be available throughout the day, with a spaghetti feed from 2 to 6pm and a silent auction from 1pm to 5pm.

All proceeds goes to a scholarship which will be given in Coach Vos's name.

At the Section 5A individual wrestling tournament at Minnewaska Area High School in February 2011.

It is very difficult to imagine the 2013 state wrestling tournament, at which I am sure B-B-E will have representation from the Jaguar team, and realize that Coach Vos won't be matside helping his guys be as competitive and successful as they possibly could be under the bright lights of the Xcel Energy Center. The fact that his team is having a remarkably strong 2012-13 season is a testament to the foundation that's been put down by Coach Vos and the rest of his coaching staff and parent support system at B-B-E.

It's even more difficult thinking of the family left behind by that fateful accident. My daughter is battling Influenza A (which has been going around at a rampant pace in central Minnesota), and this has been a difficult week for my family with that going on. It's kept my blogging time on this website to a minimum, which is too bad since I should've been promoting tomorrow's wrestling tournament all week long. While caring for my daughter, I think of Coach Vos's two young children...and I cry.

We're still in the healing process at B-B-E.

P.S. - I'll have no basketball score updates for tonight.
