Wouldn't trade it for the world though!

For college games I agree. However, if this is what I had to do for a majority of my HS games then I would trade it in.

Agreed! In the N VA/DC area, it can take me 45-60 minutes to go 10-15 miles on a Friday night. Long distance games would be out of the question for me under my current "primary job" structure.

I would either have to talk to my Assignor or re-evaluate my desires to work games. Thankfully though, it's only for a few months and only a few nights of those weeks.

81-38 or something like that. Toss was perfect. Running clock with 7 minutes left after being teased for the whole 3rd qtr. Now, I wait until Tuesday for my first BV 3 man game.

Well I hate to say this but I have made the difficult decision to take a minimum of this year off. After feeling completely burnt out from football season this year, my heart just is not in working another sport right now.

I'm sure I will miss it but I am going to take this break to tend to some personal matters and not worry much about officiating for awhile. I'll still be around here though.

Have a great season everyone.

Sorry to hear it, brother. I've done it a couple of times myself.

Not going as far as you but I am cutting out all rec & military intramural ball. I joined a 2nd HS association which will cause me extra time away from home on game nights. With that extra time on the road I don't I need to be leaving the house for Rec games.
