In episode #175, congratulations to our guest tonight, upcoming inductee (Class of 2020) into the Springfield Area Sports Hall of Fame (SASHOF). We had a lot of fun celebrating Bill Helfrect’s storied and legendary baseball career at Missouri State…and his football running back days for the Bears, too! We had a surprise guest tonight for Bill, his former college coach and now friend for life, Coach Bill Rowe. I know, right? The legendary Bill Rowe stopped by the studio to talk about Bill Helfrect’s career and what an honor it was to coach him and his teammates. We talked baseball and about what made that group so unique and special. The memories they made will be timeless and the lessons they learned have carried over into successful professional and personal lives.

Bill Helfrect will be inducted into the SASHOF on October 5, 2020 along with Larry Nemmers, Becky Oakes, Dan Lucy and Wayne Fredrick along with a new recognition, the Era of Excellence, being awarded to Parkview High Schools “Jolly Green Giants”.

Next week, Springfield Lasers Coach Paul Nahon talking tennis AND another one of his passions, sailing.
