Every level of ball is posted in our news paper. I just worked a game last week, 8th grade and the band was there and so where all the cheerleaders. Yes I will agree with you that JV and Varsity games as a community status are more publisized, and they are also more highly attended but they are no more important than any other level of game!
Do you ref for status or because you love the game?
and before you go off with the comments of oh, I must be a guy that has never worked the upper level, I have. In basketball, Varsity on down, in baseball, small college on down. Slow pitch softball, Major/AA on down to 5 and 6 year olds. So i have worked upper division in a few sports but i still preffer going to the roots, the youngsters!
