Now you are talking about my neck of the woods. Salem is about twenty miles south of Youngstown.

The game will be a profile of the Watersmeet Nimrods against the Bessemer Speedboys here in the U.P.

Jim Weiler and Jim Trcha will be working that game tonight, but the telecast date is unknown.

It should also be noted that the Nimrods play in the Porcupine Mountain Conference.

Just found out that the deal with ESPN2 starts with next year's invitational. So I won't be on the tube, even though I will be doing one of the "regional" games. Oh well.

BTW - my personal favorite is the Cobden (IL) Appleknockers. [/B][/QUOTE]

Not high school, but I've always been intrigued by the Scottsdale (AZ) Community College Pink Artichokes.

All the more reason to do well this year and get a finals spot next . . . . :)

Interesting Combo of HS Names
 
I do not have personal experience with these schools, but I did ask the student who was wearing the "Letter Jacket". He claimed his school was called the Freeport (IL) Pretzels and they frequently play the Monroe (WI) Cheesemakers.

When they meet it is called the "Cheese and Crackers" Bowl. :D

Perhaps Rich F can confirm this, since he is in that locale....

Mark, it's not a question of making a finals. The invitational is divided into two brackets: regional and national. The regional teams are our local HS teams who play teams from CT and MA. The national bracket contains schools from outside the area, such as Dematha (from MD) and Christ the King (from NYC).

The first year, I got three games; two regional and one national. This year I have a regional game only. I don't think that's a reflection on my performance last time. But this time we're using 2-whistle, instead of 3, and it's a little more organized, so the assignments are given out longer in advance (meaning, I won't get a desparate call an hour before the game to jump on :) ).

JR - I don't think they assign officials to the short list based on height. :p
