That was inevitable. NH is growing, while Maine is somewhat stagnant, and we've had four divisions (we call them "classes" A,B,C,D) for decades.

I find it funny that some of the games I work are more north than Pittsburg! My furthest drive for basketball was 1.5 hours north to Millinocket (of TV's American Loggers fame) a few years ago. The assignor encouraged four guys from my town to share a ride and work a middle school tournament. We were even told they'd feed us; they forgot to tell them that. We passed by eastern Maine's only strip joint ("Hey, doesn't your wife work there?"), to get to what used to be a Class A high school, now Class C (mill town fallen on hard times). Cross-court games, no 3-point line, no major issues, aside from one of my buds going down with a knee injury.

Also drove 1:30 for a pair of middle school soccer games -- solo job -- to the picturesque lake town of Greenville. All went well, friendly town, though the A.D. scared me a bit upon my departure: "Watch out for the moose!"
