I just got our playoff letter yesterday. I was really pumped! We are a good young crew. I have the most experience, 12 years, but the 4 other guys are guys I hand picked for my crew and we are in our 5th season. In Iowa, only 16 teams per class make the playoffs, so less than 25% of crews work a playoff game.
Each school recommends 3 crews to work the playoffs and you need to get enough votes to be in the mix. Then you have the experienced crews in your area to worry about, and we have a lot. We feel very fortunate, and are very excited about getting our 1st playoff game with such a young crew. It just shows how hard my guys work to become good. I am truly blessed to have guys work so hard with me to become quality crew so quickly. We now will work even harder to try to get to the "dome" in the next several years. We have 2 regular season games left.
Thanks to all of you for you help in me growing as an official throughout the year! I truely love working the boards.
