BBQ ribs and the Apple Bowl
A post on Tom Wyrwich’s Seattle Times prep sports blog from Wednesday night got me thinking. What is preventing us from having a rib-eating contest at Country Boys’ Barbeque for high school football players. Wenatchee, Eastmont and Cashmere each send their biggest eater to Country Boys, and whoever can pile up the most bones wins bragging rights in the Valley. Foolproof, right? Maybe I just want to see how many ribs Brandon Lynch and Mike Marboe can eat. Sue me.The more I think about it, the Apple Bowl is probably the best high school athletic facility I’ve ever been to, and I’ve covered prep sports in three time zones. The grass is like a putting green, whether it’s for soccer or football. Panther girls soccer players Kathleen King, Hanna Gustafsson and I were discussing WHS’ home opener Thursday night against LC, and how excited the team is to be playing on its home turf.”Other fields we play on aren’t nearly as nice,” said Gustafsson.”Who wouldn’t want to play on this every day?” King chimed in.Agreed.
