Vinton County pee wee wrestling program gains popularity
By GABRIELLE JOHNSTON
February 8th, 2008
Pee wee league wrestling is looking to put Vinton County in a full nelson as the sport gains popularity and struggles to take its place among other local youth sports programs.
Vicky Beckley is the local pee wee league's coordinator. She organizes the teams and sets schedules, making the league possible. Beckley said she gained an interest in the sport when her high school-aged sons signed up for wrestling at Vinton County High School. The high school team is a recent re-addition to the sports roster, having new life breathed into the program about five years ago after a years long absence.
"I begged them not to sign up," Beckley said. Like many, Beckley didn't know much about the sport of wrestling and wasn't all that willing to learn. But, as her sons progressed through the high school's program, she became more and more involved, learning all the ins and outs of the sport.
