After coaching with the Beatrice Club for 3 years, Larry Schmidt decided to start his own club in Wymore. With Coach Larry Anderson's help and support, the Southern Wrestling Club was started in Wymore in 1989.
That first year, there were only about 12 wrestlers but the word spread and in the ensuing years, the club grew to 30 wrestlers from grades 1-8, some years having as many as 55 wrestlers. Over the years, the club has attended many Huskerland State Tournaments. The team brought home the State Championship in 1996, the State Runner-up in 1995 and finished in the top 5 several years.
Southern Wrestling Club has produced several State champions over the years and many, many other State medal winners. The club has also had several wrestlers compete in national tournaments and duals teams over the years.
