Profile for Nate Hubbard
Sports Reporter at Bristol Herald Courier
After growing up in Kansas, Nate Hubbard left the Midwest to attend the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, making his college decision the same week that Kansas University coach Roy Williams decided to make the same move. Hubbard’s announcement, surprisingly enough, drew far less media attention than that of the Hall of Fame basketball coach. While at UNC, Hubbard got his journalism start at the Daily Tar Heel, reporting on the University desk for a year and then moving over to the sports side as a senior.
Following a May week in 2007 when Hubbard decided to squeeze in college graduation and marriage to a fellow Tar Heel in the span of six days, he began his professional newspaper career in Wytheville, Va. In Wytheville, Hubbard was a jack-of-all-trades reporter for the Wytheville Enterprise and Bland County Messenger weeklies, covering everything from courts to county fairs when he wasn’t penning profiles on squirrel hunters.
Hubbard joined the Bristol Herald Courier sports staff in January 2010 and has been covering all things athletic at Sullivan Central, Sullivan East, Tennessee High, King College and Virginia Intermont ever since.
