I searched for this, but I didn't see any mention of it. I was watching a re-run of the Florida Boys Class 5A final on one of the Fox channels, and I saw an all-female crew working the game. According to the FHSAA, this was a first in their history.
In NY, I haven't seen even one woman working boys playoff games.
FHSAA press release is at: http://www.fhsaa.org/news/2006/0303a.htm
Kudos to Florida for being in the 21st century.
Any other states have a 3-woman crew working a state championship for boys? |
If those were the three most qualified officials for the contest, by whatever rating system the fhsaa uses, then I have no issue with them working that game. However, if this was done for publicity, to make a statement, or simply because it hadn't been done down there before, then that is not right.
I say put the best three people on the court no matter who they are.
