I always verbalize a call whether I'm doing a jr. high game or a varsity game with or without a mic. Sometimes people hear me, sometimes they don't, but I wanted to be fully prepared when I did have a mic attached.
Think about this: you are doing smaller school games at the R without a mic for, say, 2 years. Then, boom, you get a playoff assignment with that same set of schools but in a bigger stadium with all the bells and whistles. Pregame, the stadium admin hands you the mic. You want your playoff game to go smooth, so you need to be prepared.
Remember guys, whether its officiating or any other professional endeavor, work the game/job like you're working the level you want to get to.
