I've been doing football for several years. I'm always astounded by officials that don't want to do any lower level football. Two issues: (1) You're going to see a much higher percentage of "wierd" plays from the 9th-11th graders then you are from varsity/college players and (2) I'm not saying the kids in the lower level games don't deserve our full attention, work ethic and effort but if you screw up on Tuesday it's a lot better then making a mistake on Friday night or Saturday afternoon. I called the play a touchdown and no one said a word. What it did was force me to search the rule book, again, which makes for a better official. As always thanks for everyones help.
