The Download with DP Episode 8 – Matt Barnard

By Derek Parris Oct 23, 2025 | 12:42 AM

Matt Barnard has been officiating and refereeing for nearly two decades in central IL. He joins me this week (6:42) to discuss all things high school sports and the perspective most parents, coaches and players don’t see when it comes to the guys in stripes.

DP breaks down the postseason landscape ahead to start the podcast – all thanks to Jamie Jones – Country Financial agent in Auburn, IL.
