Gary, 150 games? What do you do for a hobby? Let's see, 82 NBA season, 12 NBA pre-season, 14 NBA Playoffs and 42 HS games. Is that how you got to 150?

Richard,
In Arkansas, most Tuesday and Friday nights have at least 2 games, HS Senior Girls and Senior Boys (Class 4A and up). So, a typical week would be at least 4 Senior HS level games. Then there are Senior HS level Invitational Tournaments usually in the month of December. I average about 50-60 Senior games per year. Then when you throw in the Class 3A schools and below that play a Jr game prior to the 2 Senior games you have a 3 game night. Most of these dates in Arkansas are worked primarily with a 3 man crew. Monday and Thursday nights are Jr/8th/7th grade type games. Some Wednesdays are for JV games. Thus, the 150 game schedule. I typically start around October 15th and go until mid-February.
Yes, I have a real job also. My driving time for most games is never more than a one hour drive in any direction. Many are within 30 minutes. So, there is not much job conflict. My son is in college and my daughter plays soccer in high school, so my schedule does not conflict with their activities. Somehow I am able to maintain both sanity and family unity. ;-)
