This is an issue that all boarding states have on some level. I know for a fact this is not new to your country or area. I worked in Iowa for two years during the baseball season. My partner and I were qualified. We proved we were some of the best umpires in the association and all the coaches wanted to see us. Maybe that is what is happening in your area. Maybe the Ohio guys are just getting it done and the guys in your area are not? I know we have officials that come from Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa and Missouri come in and work games. If you have an IHSA license, you can work any HS game. That never has bothered me. Some officials live right on the boarder and working games in two states just makes sense.
