Bradley, this is my 5th year and I've worked real hard to try to get it right. I've been calling Varsity with no problems all year long to this point and now that we're down to district play, I'm back to doing jr high and freshman, jv games. The reason is, all officials in this area under 6 years experience are automatically scratched by most coaches for district play. No one is to blame, that is just the way it is but it is a real bummer. I'm tuned up, charged up, and ready to go and I'm leaving right now for some jr high games. The thing tat really hurts is that we have all these veterans who are getting all the best games because of seniority not because they are better or in some cases even as good as newer officials. Bummer, thanks for letting me vent. Ralph.
