Cool

This morning I get a call from my assignor telling me to look at today's sports section, when I get to the section on high school football I see this pic.



First time so far it's happened, I was told, I'll probably never get a shot better than this one.

Hey congrats Ref18! I always check the local paper to see if anyone I know (or myself of course) made the paper. Its pretty rare in my area unless you get a TD call or a sideline shot like yours. I got my moment of glory a few years ago, I'm giving the TD signal, but its a side shot of my face. What's cool is there is about 5 members of the scoring team all giving the signal too.

You should be able to get that in color. If you call the paper, they should be able to sell it to you. I paid $30 for mine, but it's 20x10 and I just had to have it.

I'd post it here but I didn't want to steal your thunder

DUDE!!! 20x10, that's HUGE, I wish I could get the pic that size.

The paper charges $27 for a full colour 8x10 print. I'm going to order it on Monday.

And just to give some more info on that pic, That line we're standing over, is the goal-line, I was just waiting to see the ball in the end-zone before I signaled.

Gus, Always check the school web sites of the teams you work. A lot of them have their photographers put the pictures on these sites. I have gotten a number of them from school sites.

I could have made the TV news myself but my game was on a lightning delay when they showed up.. oh well.. an unfullfilled career.

I wondered how long it would take for this to be posted.

I love the stirrup socks.

I did make the TV clips this week. And I know because when I got home my wife said to me "Dear, I saw your heiney on 2 sportscasts tonight." Umpires get no respect.

reminds me of the Randy Cross commercial, no females recognized him in the bar until he bent over to pick something up, female said, "Hey, aren't you Randy Cross?"

That was a good one.

We're so small that we get our HS games on the sports news on Friday night. I've been on several times.

Darn, I run slower on TV than I think I am running.

No wonder those kids outrun me!

we have 2 local high school football shows on friday night. one at 11:30 (cbs) and one at midnight (fox). i usually have a camera man or two at every game i do. they both work hard to cover as many games as possible. being there are two, it makes the competition to get better footage increase.
if you are lucky you can get your whole game televised. i have only had one in high school so far.
