This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.
A coach from Putnam County has come up with an idea to add to the Pro Volleyball tournament that will soon take place in Charleston:
BEACH WRESTLING FOR MALE & FEMALES
There will be three weight classes -- light, medium and heavyweight -- in each of four age divisions -- elementary, middle school, high school and open. He'll determine the weight cutoffs on the day of the event to divide entrants evenly among classes.
Women are welcome to enter, and can compete among themselves or go up against the guys as some do in school.
"We have no idea how many women will be interested in signing up. In some areas a lot of women compete.
"Guys can wear a wrestling singlet or swim trunks. Girls can wear or singlet or a one- or two-piece swimsuit." Headgear is optional. Beach wrestlers usually go barefoot, he said. If the sand gets too hot, he'll wet it down or rake it. http://www.wvgazette.com/News/200907220084
