Although we do have local associations in my state, high school officials are hired by each school independent of local associations. It is my feeling that this process has the potential to keep good officials from doing some games at the expense of the "good ole boys" network. I was just wondering how many other states operate in this fashion.

Jake80,
You may have run into a game where the new guys actually got a chance to work their first varsity game.

You may be right Mick. I had considered that possibility.
However, there was a small factor that changed my mind. I arrived a little early for the boys game in time to observe the end of the girls game. After the game I see one of the game officials come out of the locker room and sit next to a school official. School official's daughter is one of the stars of the team. Daughter comes out of the dressing room and game official gives her a high five. Gave the appearance of impropriety. That had something to do with the "ole boys network" comment.
