First varsity game of the season. We had done two scrimmages and I had worked two junior high games the day before. We dressed in the school and took a van over to the field. Once over there I started feeling a bit funny like I was missing something. Finally I realized I was missing my down indicator. Having never forgotten any equipment in my previous 11 years this was a bit troublesome. I was able to get a few rubber bands and make my own indicator. But then I realized, just a couple minutes before game time, that I also forgot the clip for the chains. I was able to get some wire to work with until the AD could go back to the school and get my bag. At some point in the middle of the first quarter we finally had everything we needed.
Later at some point in the middle of the 4th quarter we had another problem. This school for some reason has a battery-powered down indicator. The operator pushes a button and scrolls from one number to the next. Well the batteries went dead and they spent a few minutes looking for a manual stick.
