[Bad Zebra]

Our basketball association met last night briefly, as we do every year prior to the middle school basketball season (Sept.-Oct.). The football situation was discussed briefly, and off the record. Our commissioner is also a football official (not one of the assoc. involved in the strike) and he has spoken to most other football commissioners around the state. It looks like there WILL NOT be any organizations willing to take these football games. The FHSAA is not really revealing that yet. I believe they will try to lean on the surrounding associations to cross the "picket line".

My opinion, the FHSAA will wait until the last minute to say they can't get anyone to cover the games. Games will get cancelled and the FHSAA will paint the football officials as greedy and willing to "penalize (ha! another pun) the poor kids".
