Not that I am aware of. Bill B. and myself were in the list that was submitted by Lee P., who also submitted your name, but I know that I wasn't chosen, I don't know about Bill.

At the risk of alienating the rest of the country:

Where did they have the dinner? Back a long time ago...and I am talking so long ago that there was "country" between Leander and Austin...we had a fabulous working dinner out at County Line (which was also out in the country). Bill Farney was doing his swan song as AD of the UIL and we went out with a bang with the dinner for both baseball and softball.

If you tell me it was either at Stubb's or at Jaime's at 6th and Red River I will be upset...

Nope . . . not Stubb's or Jaime's . . . they wouldn't turn a bunch of umpires loose on 6th Street PRIOR to the semis & finals! Our dinner was at the UT Club - nice, close, and private.

So tell us, hot shot, how was the tourney? What games did you work...etc.? I see that you returned in one piece.

Scott,

I had a great time . . . made a lot of new friends . . . and we even called a few games. I was the rabbit on the 5A championship between Garland and Katy last night . . . 1-0 game, pretty exciting. Earlier, I had the plate on the 3A Semi. In the 2A Semi (Aubrey came back with 2 outs in the 7th and scored 4 to win) I was at 1st. It was a tremedous experience.

Well, again congratulations. I know that you did us all proud.
