With so many newspapers downsizing their sports departments in New Jersey or forcing you to pay for a subscription for subpar coverage, where can you get you amateur wrestling fix? Donald Brower, who has covered high school wrestling in New Jersey extensively for the last 18 years with a heavy focus on Essex, Morris, Passaic, Hunterdon, Sussex and Warren County, shares his weekly thoughts on the state of boys and girls wrestling in the state. During the show, he announces his Weekly Team Top 10, Wrestlers of the Week, answers listener submitted questions, as well as tackles the topics and stories surrounding the sport.

In this special episode, Donald has a chance to sit down with State Assigner and Official Vin Russo to talk about how he started as an official and in wrestling and some of the rule changes this upcoming year.
