My first varsity assignment, I had this feeling that every other game I had called was only practice. This is for real.

As someone else said, you know you can work this level because you have done it before in a peacefull setting. All they are adding to the mix is the pressure of doing it in front of a varsity crowd and the game counts. You didn't mention what much about these games either. I have seen varsity games that could have been called by two second year officials. 83-25 blowouts with 10 people in the stands. I doubt seriously if they gave you the cross town rivalry where 2000 people will be in attendance.

Good luck. And let us know how it goes.
