Prior to any Varsity contest, the umpire should examine all balls that are going to be used in the game. If it meets the standard, then the umpire should put an `x` on the ball for identification. After a touchdown, it is a good idea to use the same ball for p.a.t. We use this mechanic here in Southern California. For underclassman games, use what you can. Some school districts can't afford a lot of balls.
