The home stretch

So, admittedly, it’s been way too long since I have posted here. My sincere apologies. But seeing as this is my last semester of college, I owe it to myself, the loyal readers and (maybe) Nic to post more regularly, so that’s the plan from here on out.

pigorsh_brock.jpgIt wasn’t my plan to start out with a somber post, but in my reading I came across a terribly tragic event that occurred less than a week ago. Sophomore Brock Pigorsch, a wrestler at York College in Nebraska, was killed in a van accident during the team’s travels to a tournament. A few other members of the team were injured, but none seriously.

While I could not find details on the accident, one article did say that no other vehicles were involved. I hate to speculate, and will therefore refrain from doing so. I know that car accidents, as they are aptly titled, are just that - accidents. But immediately after reading about York’s tragedy, the Bluffton bus accident of March 2007 comes to mind. Two teams that will be forever changed and, more importantly, many families that will be forever devastated.

My thoughts and prayers are with Pigorsch’s family, teammates and friends.
