Barbara Brummet is a wrestling official from Missouri who has been blazing a trail for women's wrestling and officiating since 1971 when she first fell in love with wrestling. Barbara went to all of the wrestling matches at a large school in Missouri that attended wrestling meets and cheered (yes, it wasn't just a thing in Vision Quest.)   Barbara gained a huge respect for wrestlers and the tenacity and what it takes to be a competitor. At one point she reflects on asking herself in high school, "What would make a person want to do this?" In her episode, she talks about the individual and team aspects of wrestling and what it teaches young men and women.   Beginning her wrestling officiating career she fell even deeper in love with the sport of wrestling.

Rob Jennings

Selfishly, I've been looking forward to this interview since we started the show. Rob Jennings wrestled at Clyde High School in the mid-to-late nighties when my father was a coach in the same conference. If you talk to anyone about the level of completion and the rivalries in the Sandusky Bay Conference when it was 8 teams you will get a better understanding of the times. Needless to say, as a young 5th - 6th grader I was watching all of Rob’s matches. If not for entertainment for scouting (Sorry Rob. Sorry SMCC coaches. I’m sure my notes could have been better.) Rob was one of those wrestlers that did everything right. He was respectful in victory and defeat and he was a part of a Murder’s Row of wrestlers. When you wrestled Clyde at that time, the dual meet could easily come down to the coin flip between the captains. Rob shares how he got started in wrestling, what it taught him, why he became a wrestling official, and what his goals as an official are. Rob shares a lot of high school wrestling stories about the glory days in the SBC. Rob’s goal is to officiate the Ohio High School Wrestling State Championships as soon they feel he is ready. He IS ready by the way.

In this episode, Bryce speaks with Vanessa Oswalt, Brian Nicola, and Mark Niemann about the growth of girls wrestling in Ohio due to their efforts in conjunction with the Ohio Wrestling Coaches Association (OHSWCA), specifically, Dominic DiSabato, Dean Conley, and Shawn Andrews. We talk about the logistics of running successful girls and boys wrestling teams, the girls wrestling surge in Ohio, the history of girls wrestling, why we need more wrestling officials, and why some of those new officials need to be women.
