We have a very good official who teaches at one of the HS's in town. This year our association finally decided to not schedule him for any games at any level with that school. It just makes sense and it doesn't put him in a tough spot.
Also, games at ANY level are important to the players, coaches and parents of those teams. I treat any level game as a Final Four for those kids. I am a varsity official and this Saturday I will be doing a JV game between the two rival schools in town. It will be like a Final Four for those kids, I guarantee you! We wanted to make sure we put varsity level officials on that game. It will be a war.
