Last night, 2 x B15U games. Good league. Tough games setting up for end of season playoffs. Emotions are high.
First game, no partner - nice.
I do the best I can. Thankfully, pretty easy game to call. No complaints from anyone really.
Game two - no way to do that by myself. Gonna be a rough one. I recruit the adult scoreboard op (not the Eagle, he's on IR) from the first game as he's willing to assist. What a pleasant surprise. While he was really, really rough, only knew some basics, and had trouble with the whistle, he did ok. He asked for pointers. He listened, watched, hustled, got in position, etc. He was better than some "seasoned officials" I've had. Again, few complaints. Overall, a good experience!
Hopefully, he'll pick it up and move forward - we can always use good, new officials.
