Every cloud has a silver lining, so the saying goes.

With heavy rains predicted for the area on Saturday we've already been notified that our game is being postponed until Sunday. That move brings up a conflict as my regular referee is unavailable for Sunday's game. As a result I've been asked to wear the white hat.

I've had the chance to work as a referee in countless sub-varsity and youth contests but this will be my first with the varsity squad. I am cautiously optimistic that I am well prepared for this chance. Part of that optimism is due in fact to the exchange of ideas and experiences we enjoy on this board.

Wish me luck.
