According to one of my buddies that was in the locker room immediately after the game, Mike DID tell him 2 times not to go back into the group. THAT's why he stuck him the 2nd time. That's also in Mike's report. I haven't read everything past this one yet but Mike's report to the WVSSAC is on www.wsaz.com

A lot of people are talking about the assignor here. Huntington plays in the Mountain State Athletic Conference - 16 of the larger schools in the southern and central part of the state. The commissioner of the league schedules all the home games for football and basketball (conference and non-conference). Our games are usually assigned in March or April for a large part of the next season. We are sent contracts and we sign them and mail them back to the commissioner. Of course since we are assigned as individuals, we have to wait to find out who our partners are. We have a website that we can log onto in May to find that out. The commissioner would, though, find someone to fill the games. He's paid a salary - not a fee, and probably not enough to really be worth the crap he goes through: 32 teams (16 boys/16 girls) for 20 games . . . 300+ officials and he does another conference for the smaller schools in the area.

In a funny twist of fate, one of the other officials has Huntington's game on Monday night. At least it won't be AT Huntington . . . I have the Hutington girls game on Tuesday - thankfully, OJ doesn't play for the girls team!
