That is how far away some of the schools are. We have about 90 HS in the northern VA area and it just keeps getting larger. Had a GV game last night at a school that just opened this year and we have 3 more schools set to open next year. Granted, 62 miles is not the norm and would only happen a couple of times a season, but it does happen. When I was a JV official, my assignor would call me and "asked me very nicely" if I could go do that game rather than my original assignment and 90% of the time, I would go. She would then reward me with a GV game (not a top game, but varsity nonetheless). Worked OK for me.
