I'm surprised you haven't heard of that other game played in the fall, football.
That's awfully big up this way and would kill any chance of having umpires available to work HS games.

The only real disadvantage is that the fall high school season starts so early to beat the bad weather; it is tough on players on teams that play in Nationals with high school coaches who think they should be trying out and practicing for the high school team instead of playing in ASA Nationals.

Let me see, play for a National Championship or HS ball which basically has little to no benefit comparatively? Tough decision.
