Oak Harbor's Bergman named AAU's national wrestling coach of the year
As the 12th of the 14 children born to the late Eldo and Agnes Bergman, and the seventh of eight sons, George Bergman grew up knowing the value of hard work and competition. He used these tools to become an accomplished wrestler at Cardinal Stritch High School (Class of 1978), where he also played football for the Cardinals. He placed fourth at 155 pounds in Ohio's Class AA state tournament as a senior. After continuing his education and wrestling in military prep school and then at the University of Toledo in the early 1980s, Bergman earned his bachelor's degree in education, and embarked on a career as a teacher and coach at Oak Harbor High School in 1986. Having recently completed his 38th year as a physical education teacher, and his 32nd year as the Rockets' head wrestling coach, Bergman was down in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., for part of his usual summer ritual — coaching area wrestlers at the annual Disney Duals — when he got a special surprise on June 23.
