Carpooling To Games

I agree with the previous posters. JV and varsity crews riding together doesn't make sense for us. Yes, gas is expensive. But I'm not leaving two hours earlier just to save $10 on gas.

I would be happy to work both games as a 3-man crew, though. We're still struggling in some areas to bring three in, and I think this would be a good solution and would also give some new blood exposure to varsity basketball.

We're doing that about 4 times next season. three-whistle, both games 110 miles to Hurley, Wisconsin.

I save gas going to games by riding my skateboard. If another official wants to hop on and share the ride, that's cool with me.

We had a guy work the LL state tournament in Wausau this year who actually lives in Ironwood, but was introduced as being from Hurley, WI.

Wonder if we could arrange a game sometime. It'd be a considerably longer drive for me, though.

You are probably talking about Sammy. He has also worked Wisconsin HS tourney.

Working in Hurley would prolly be about a 5 hours run ?

Edited direction.

Make sure to hide your Tanqueray if Sammy is around. Great guy, would work with him anywhere.

I'll e-mail him that the word is out.
