While I agree in theory that a 21 year old could have the requisite skills and experience to merit a state championship game, I sincerely doubt that this would realy happen. It would be highly unlikely to get varsity level games before leaving HS at age 18, so you are talking 3 years of varsity experience. You may be really good after those 3 years, but there will be a large number of people who are at least as qualified and with many more years of experience. They would, and should, get the nod for a single game of this magnitude before the highly capable up and coming official. That official could have many quality games - but not the final, IMO.
