I won’t watch the All-Star game, why would I watch a Celebrity Softball game?

Actually I did realize that. I have combed over the IHSA handbook and I have never seen but one or two female officials working in the state finals out of the 12 officials. I do know we do not have the numbers of female officials in basketball as they seemed to have in other sports like Volleyball.

I have actually worked varsity games with a couple of female officials. I would agree the qualifications are not at issue, but the opportunities are. I do know some D1 female officials that just have not been given an opportunity to work HS varsity boy's games. I just found this very interesting since you almost never see that here.
