When you become a Varsity official you could dispense with the mechanic but you are setting a bad example for newer guys (like you). You also may be hurt by not geting games in the post season because you are not using NFHS mechanics. I don't see what's so hard about stopping the clock, especially when all you officiate is HS ball. I know some college officials that stop the clock in HS and I believe because of this they work regionals and states every year.
