My question for you as officials: In that environment can you still officiate a game? Do you worry about being percieved as a "homer"?
Would you worry that after a close game the losing team might express their sour grapes by saying, "Well, no wonder. The center for that team is in the Ref's 4-H club!"
Thank you again for what you do.

Live in a small town, but just moved here from out of state. My partners all know someone either on the team, coaching or playing.
As I tell my friends, when I make a mistake in passing on a call or making a call it's because I made an error in judgement, not because I have any bias.
