What's The Call?

Sure,

A local Parochial school here has you work the JV and Varsity games.

JV game is back and forth. I ask at the end of the 3rd Q, during three TO in the fourth, and after the game if the score is good. I am told it is, and the home team wins by one.

Go to the locker room to get our jackets and stretch and keep warm for the varsity contest. We go out for warm-ups and the home book sheepishly wanders over.

"We have a problem, we added the score again and it was tied". Having no idea what their record was I pulled a baby davism. I told her I guess their record is now
7-4 and 1. I got lucky though, the visiting coach was a ref so he knew it was over. But his book sure got an earful.

Plus, we had a whole set of new problems in the varsity game. It was the only time all year I was glad to be running out of a gym.
