I wear the WH 90% of the time, but I've grown to covet my time spent as umpire during underclass games. I'm good at spotting the football, I like having the play come right towards me, and I don't have anyone yelling at me, at least not much.
This week is the final week of the regular season and we're working 2 varsity games, 2 freshman games, one sophomore game, and one JV game. 2 varsity games and the JV game I'll work referee, but the rest I'm working umpire.
