Saturday rec follies

[Mark Padgett]

Well, today was virtually the opposite of yesterday as far as uniforms are concerned. I had two 7th grade boys games and a freshman HS game. All the boys had proper jerseys although there were a few "illegal" numbers. No one was wearing an improper T-shirt under their jersey. They even kept their jerseys tucked in!

Also, the games were much closer than the ones yesterday. The victory margins were four, seven and ten points respectively, with the ten point game coming in the freshman contest. My partner was a buddy who is a HS teacher at the school all three of my kids attended. We've reffed together for about ten years. He's a really nice guy with a good sense of humor. That alone makes it much more enjoyable to work games.

In the HS game, a kid dribbled the ball off his foot OOB. He then bent over, slapped his foot and said, "Bad foot, bad foot" while shaking his finger at it. I think he was the coach's son.
