I arrive early and Assignor tells me I have a good team tonight with several players being recruited by big name schools (one ACC). One of the players was listed as a top five sophomore in the country!

My P's and I have a good pregame and take the court. Holy crap! I've never been on the court with athletes like this. This was an elite area team against another "just good" team.

About three minutes into the game, alley-oop, WHAM. Me - you're kidding!? Prior to tonight, I could count how many dunks I've been on the court for on one hand. We must have had 20 rim rockers of all kinds tonight!

Coaches and players were cool. Fun for all and I had an absolute blast!

I'm not a "big time" official like some on this site and am only in my 5th yr of HS, but this was definitely one of the highlight games in my career. I'm already looking forward to my game tomorrow night where I have another one of the elite teams.

Congrats on a job well done, glad you had a good experience. Do it again tonight and don't let 'em steal the tap.
BTW, check your odometer settings. Its all deductible !

It's about as far as they can send you in this area, but not as far as some of those on the Forum have traveled. Tough fighting the Friday DC traffic last night though.....

Thanks for the good wishes Rick. Looking forward to it. Montrose is lined up to play the game after mine, so, I might just stick around for a bit of that one!
