Bag the OOB Spot?

REPLY: ljudge...what game did you go to? I hope it wasn't one of our crews, but it probably wasn't because they ususally don't send people that far for the opening round games. We had Hudson Catholic vs. Holy Spirit (Absecon) on Saturday night up in Jersey City.

I ended up working 2 playoff games.

Friday night my crew worked the Hanover Park/Mendham game.

On Saturday I filled in as LJ with another crew at the West Orange/Bloomfield game.

REPLY: We had a consolation game on Friday night. I'd prefer root canal! It was no "consolation" for us!

Everyone else I know of had 2 games this weekend. We had only 1. I was hoping that was because we were being saved for games in the later rounds.

REPLY: We had a final last year (Brick vs. Jackson @ Rutgers) so we're expecting a semi-final this coming weekend. We'll see...

Nah, I believe it was a chapter from the shore area. It was the Paulsboro v. Barnegat up in Paulsboro.

I was scheduled to work two consolation games but one was a forfeit. We had Cherry Hill West v. Oakcrest and what a game it was. It had all the excitement of a playoff. The forefeit was a horrible match up. They paired up an 0-8 group 1 school with a group 3 school that was also winless. The group 1 school wanted no parts of it.

I, along with my crew is holding out hope for a semi. We got a quarter last year which was a first for me working the R position. I signed up for chains Friday night and hoping for something Saturday. I must have hit arbiter 10 times this morning but still nothing.
