Knock It Off!!!

[S. Hoover]

I was gettig ready to call a boys jv game and i came a little early to watch a boys jr.high game. the ref calling the ref calling the jr.high game is a gret official. he does many varsity games, and i believe was even called up to the college level. Now these two teams are real big rivals in football and that rivalry carries over to all sports. these two teams hate each other! As the visiting teams cheerleaders came onto the floor before the game, the home fans starting booing and really giving it to them. this ref turned to the fans and gave them a real stern look, which i thought was called for. as they were administering a free throw to the away team, of course the homme team is going to yell to distract the away team. we ll this ref thhen put his hand out as to tell them to stop, when they didn't he again gave his stern look. at half time he talked to the game manager, then the gm had a talk with all those fans. i know there's hardly any sportsmanship any more but do you think this ref was out of line? i'd like to see what you think. thanks. peace
