In episode #173, we were happy to celebrate three upcoming inductees (Class of 2020) into the Springfield Area Sports Hall of Fame. We congratulated and celebrated with former National Football League referee Larry Nemmers, former coach and athletic administrator Becky Oakes, and champion golfer Wayne Fredrick. All three shared lessons they have learned from their experiences and the importance of continuing to learn and give back to the game. Their advice was spot on about how sports parallel life. My thanks to our call-in guests: Dr. Ron Snodgrass (Big 10 Football Referee), Dr. Karissa Neirhoff (Executive Director of the National Federation for High School Sports), and Tim Blasi (2019 HOF member).

They will all be inducted into the SASHOF on October 5, 2020 along with next week’s guests, Dan Lucy, Bill Helfect, and Parkview High Schools “Jolly Green Giants”, who will receive the inaugural Era of Excellence Award.
