I got two stories so far.
First play of my first game ever. Sweep my way, I'm linesman. I actually break down and step towards the play and my thoughts are on shedding blockers...until I realize I'm an official now, not a player. I backpeddle to the sideline as quick as I can and try to get behind the play so I could follow. Got trampled by two or three tacklers a blocker and the back all in a huge heap. Luckily I'm young so I just brush it off and move on. Plus it was JV so they don't hit too hard anyhow.
Other incident was just this weekend but I was the hitter this time. Swing pass my way and going up the sideline. This time I'm in good position to follow the play up the sideline without getting myself trampled. As I'm running up the sideline the coach on my side steps forward pointing out a block in the back or something like that to us officials. But he didn't see me coming and steped right in front of me. I hardly broke stride as he tumbles to the ground and I keep following the play. We had a laugh about it later in the game.
