I finally made it

After nearly 3 seasons of basketball officiating, spanning just shy of 300 games, tonight I have my first varsity assignment.

Granted, it's between 2 sub-500 teams (combined record is something like 7-30), and it's going to be a 150-mile round-trip for me to get there, but still.

As one of my association's clinicians says: "If I told you there was $70 under a rock 70 miles from here, would you go get it? Probably not. But if I told you that you could 70 miles to get yelled at by coaches and fans for an hour and a half for that $70, you'd go."

Can't wait.
