I've heard from other officials around here that the Mackinac Island High School court was so small that it didn't even have a division line. There was no backcourt count and no backcourt violation. They would fly the officials over on Friday during the day for two games and then another two on Saturday before flying them back.

They have a new gym now and I can't find any pictures of the old gym.

Saw a story on Paradise, MI school on ESPN this morning that had a gym converted out of the cafeteria...Man it was TINY! The story was about this old fella who collected cans for the athletic department there. In MI it's $.10 for retruning them and he has raised over $10K for the school.

The school had like 100 something kids in grades 1-12....very small...

Best part of the story was the Blues Brothers style netting separating the "bleachers" from the court!

Last Saturday I had 6th grade boys travel tournament and worked six straight games starting at 9am. Then worked another two games (boy/girls varsity combo) that started at 6pm. All the games were played at the same school. Ice on the knees and a cold one were the ticket for me when I got home....
