Saw on the TV news tonight that Craig Beverlin has retired from Kamiakin High School after 23 years as the school’s football coach. He’s had an amazing run of success on the football field — Kamiakin is always one of the top 2-3 teams in its conference.

I don’t know Craig personally anymore, but way back in the mid-1990s when I was the sports anchor on KEPR-19, I had plenty of chances to interview him, watch the team practice and play, etc. I had, and still have, the impression that he really made a positive impact on his players. Kamiakin football always seemed just a little bit more like family than the other schools — at least back then.

KNDU has a good story with video about Craig’s retirement.

Seems like forever since we did one of these, but here goes:

• Galloway Law Office recently opened its doors at at 2810 W. Clearwater Ave., Suite 106. The law office specializes in wills, estate planning, trusts and more.
• Comfort Suites Hotel will build a new, four-story, 84-room hotel in the Southridge area of Kennewick. The hotel development may also lead to two new restaurants in the area. Very cool!

Close the windows and lock your doors … pro wrestling is coming to the Toyota Center next month! Just kidding — it’s not bad or anything like that. But it’s true: WWE “Road to Wrestlemania” will take place on February 6 at 7:30 pm at the Toyota Center.

If the Toyota Center web site has its facts straight, there’ll be some big wrestling stars in town: Triple H, The Undertaker, Big Show, and lots more. But it also says “Card subject to change.”

If you’re looking for tickets, plan on spending between $20 and $60, depending on where you want to sit. The public ticket sale starts on January 17th, but you can sign up for the Internet presale, which happens on January 14th. Visit Ticketmaster’s web site for more details about that.
