High schools in Nebraska and Iowa tend not to use the mike on R, although those schools that share their field with a college team might do that. We did have one such game last year, but they asked our R if he wanted to or not. He turned them down, since he'd never been miked.

There seems to be trend starting among the bigger schools in both states that the mike is showing up, especially at fields that are shared by the schools from the same school district. I doubt it'll trickle through the bigger class and on down to the smaller class anytime soon. It may be a LONG while.
