It is in Virginia; the Hampton/Newport News area. I'm assuming this because I know this is where BNR lives.

I had a good HS game last night, too. The JV game went double OT, so my game started about a half hour late. Then the home team drained a 3-pointer at the buzzer to send my game to OT, as well. Visitors ended up winning by 4, but it was a very good game.

I was late to the pizza joint, though.

I didn't have any game(s) last night, but I took advantage of the R&R. One thing I'm envious about is the comraderie some of you get to experience. For whatever reason, the basketball officials in this part of Mississippi don't meet or come together to talk basketball. In Vegas and DC (Maryland) this was a normal occurance during the season. The football guys do meet up in this area though. There is a strip mall parking near my house where they gather for refreshments after their games.

I had two good games Friday as well . . .

9th Boys, game was a 3-pt nail-biter. Team A was up 14-0 in the first period, and let Team B work their way back into it as the game progressed. Comes down to a 3-pt try at the buzzer . . . kid from Team B takes the shot and misses, BUT the ball rebounds right back to him . . . he sets up for his second shot, HORN, he releases the ball . . . SHOT GOES IN!.. Me: "No Shot! Game Over!" Team A wins.

Varsity Boys: Home team wins by 7, but they were down by two to start the 4th Quarter. 5-6 PC and TC Fouls, lots of action, and a PACKED house. It was a lot of fun. [Bad part, losing team head coach completely lambastes us the paper. Apparently, we were the worst crew he had ever seen. I was very happy TWO of our Board members were there evaluating us that night, and they both gave us excellent marks . . . ]

It's great to see officials honoring the age-old tradition of getting together for pizza and brownpop after a game. Maybe scarf down a few dozen wings too. There were just waaaaaay too many snussies lately, with their tofu-eating, diet coke-drinking ways, infiltrating the ranks of the true officials.

Keep up the great work, Scrappy. Our avocation desperately needs real men like you!

Kinda brings a tear to my eyes, folks.....sniff.....
