Same thing happened to me yesterday, the 3rd. We drove 83 miles-one way. Coach said the game was on the 7th. He showed us the schedule he had faxed the secretary. So, we drove home and decided to stop and watch the games in our home town. The Jv game was just over. It had been called solo by a young official. He was frantically wearing out his cell phone trying to find someone to help him do the Varsity game next when we walked in. The AD was glad to see us and after we told him our story he asked the other official if it was okay if we called the V game and he offered to pay the kid double for the game he called by himself. The youngster was glad to get out of the sit and took the offer and ran. We called the game. It was ironic that we drove all over South Texas when we could have driven a half mile. One school had plenty of officials and no games and another school had plenty games and no officials. Need a new assigning secretary.
