A unique opportunity for football players

Posted Tuesday, February 2, 2010, at 5:28 PM

Several media from Sioux City, including former Daily Sentinel editor Earl Horlyk, were in attendance at this afternoon's press conference at the SC Convention Center.

Jesse and I went to Sioux City this afternoon for a press conference on a football camp that will be held in June.

The camp, put on by Elite Football Academy, will feature hands-on training from at least eight professional players, including Tim Dwight and Adam Timmerman.

The camp sounds pretty awesome - I would love to go and I don't even play football!

Pick up a copy of Wednesday's paper for more info on the camp.

We're heading out to Gehlen momentarily for the Mission Honduras tailgate supper before our Tuesday night of basketball.

Gehlen hosts Spalding tonight and Jesse is heading to Carey Gym for the Bulldogs' matchup with Spencer.

Check back later tonight for notes from the games and of course full recaps and pictures will be in Wednesday's paper.

Packer Pink & What I Think

I'm a firm believer in the line "those who can't do, teach" - except that I don't teach, I write. I was never an athlete and I have the coordination of a one-year-old, but my passion for the game - any game really - is what drives me most. I was born in the suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisc., which is probably why I am a Packer fan. And I'm not one of those fans who likes the Packers when they are good and cheers for other teams from week to week or season to season. No, I am a die-hard - I bleed green and gold and I think the Cheesehead is one of the more stylish head-wear pieces ever created. After six years in Wisconsin, my family moved to Pella - where I consider to be my hometown. I went to Pella Christian High School - where I loved watching the sports! - and developed my love for photography and design. A side note - my sister (and one of my best friends) plays volleyball at Pella Christian, thus the occasional references to Eagles volleyball in my musings. I graduated with a degree in business and journalism from Northwestern College in Orange City in December 2007. I enjoy keeping tabs on my alma mater and the first teams I ever covered as a journalist. My brother plays football for the Raiders, so that adds even more incentive to continue bleeding red. Even though I am a sports-enthusiast of a seemingly male nature, I am also 100 percent girly-girl. I love shoes, purses and anything pink. Thus the blog title "Packer Pink and What I Think." I am quite the random person so I may vary from topic to topic, but at the end of the day, I'm pretty much just sports and pink.
