heh. just sayin' i don't think there are many officials under 30. although i'm used to major sports on tv, in which case you rarely see anybody under 30. maybe high school is different, but i imagine the refs are the parents of kids that are in high school, right?

Yes, it is a requirement in fact. I couldn't officiate high school football until my son became a freshman, which was the beginning of last season. I fathered him when I was 9 years old.

These are just the kind of comments that don't make the situation better. I can't believe how mean-spirited you football guys are.

My first high school game (JV) was the winter after I had graduated from high school. That was 22 years ago.

If you're talking about varsity games, it only makes sense that many of the officials are older, but it doesn't mean they all are.

Without too much rancor from the peanut gallery, dare I say that this has degraded into another "peanut gallery" thread...

I couldn't resist...

Yeah, but now we have to watch out for Salmonella. Make sure that you wash your hands with hot water immediately after you read this thread.
