Well, I finally got a high school play-off game as the umpire this year! It was fun. They flew me and one of my regular referees over to a different island and we did the game up at Kamehameha Schools campus (brand new 15 million dollar high school stadium up on the heights with sweeping views of Honolulu, Pearl Harbor, the ocean and the Waianae mountain ranges; we enjoyed the bright orange/red sunset as we did our pregame on folding chairs in the back of the north goal-posts). Our 7 man crew was comprised of officials from 3 different islands. A great group of guys and also a wonderful game that featured Aiea versus Lahaina Luna (oldest school west of the Rocky Mountains founded in 1831)...

REPLY: Mike, Congratulations on the assignment. My family and I are planning on visiting Hawaii this spring. Probably a week in Oahu, and another week visiting some of the other islands. My season ends on Saturday.
