Gail Fredrick, Dr. Edsel Matthews
In episode #174, we were once again happy to celebrate some upcoming inductees (Class of 2020) into the Springfield Area Sports Hall of Fame. This week we enthusiastically congratulated and celebrated with legendary broadcaster, Dan Lucy as he expressed how honored he has been to broadcast sports in the Springfield area for nearly 32 years. We also celebrated the unique and successful attributes of an era at Parkview High School that left a lasting impact on the community. The “Jolly Green Giants’ will receive the Era of Excellence Award from the Springfield Area Sports Hall of Fame. Representing the players was Gail Fredrick (2005 individual inductee of the SASHOF) and representing the coaching staff, Dr. Edsel Matthews (2000 SASHOF inductee; 2005 Missouri Sports Hall of Fame inductee). They gave some valuable advice and guidance to young athletes, coaches, and parents of athletes. We appreciated their insights and perspective on the value of sports and the parallel of life lessons.
Dan Lucy, KOLR 10
They will all be inducted into the SASHOF on October 5, 2020 along with last week’s guests, Larry Nemmers, Becky Oakes, and Wayne Fredrick and next week’s guest, Bill Helfect.
