First "real" varsity game, or first summer varsity game? My first summer varsity game was actually at an all-star camp with D1 players for counselors. The counselors were allowed to play a little, so I was actually reffing Thalo Green at one point. Sheez, was I in over my head or what!?!?
First real varsity game was 1A girls, a little Christian school against another little Christian school. Absolutely NBD. But it was still more exciting, more cool, more everything than that camp game. This spring at our association banquet, the guy who was my partner for that first real varsity game, came over and introduced himself to my husband. He said, "Hope you don't mind me saying this, but I'll always cherish being her first." Kind of corny, but I felt that way about him, too. He was the first. I don't even remember who my partner was at that camp game.
