It's all Andy's fault (with a little Darrell in the mix) . He taught me well. It will be the end of a great year with a 5a quarter final yesterday, 4a1 semi final tomorrow and the 4a2 state championship Saturday night. Same 3man crew for all three. Made them work a LL game last week to get the kinks out.
![]() ![]() Steve, thank you. Hugo, congratulations it counts. We all know they play great ball in Florida. Enjoy and have fun!!! Next year I will probably be fetching waters and new balls for the many deserving umpires I have the honor of working with. Paul

I was fortunate enough to do a state final a few years ago. It was a great game 3-2. I'm at the finals every year since then - toting water & towels or whatever. That's a really good experience too - sharing in & watching those who are often on their first "big stage".

Angler and I, along with a bunch of others (2 others from Seattle) were selected to work the 3A/4A State HS Tourney - our highest classification - over Memorial Day weekend (Fri/Sat).

Today I'm watching the State Finals - #1 ranked Naples vs. Nat'l #2 ranked Dunnellon (FL) It is now tied at 3 in the top of the 8th. If any of you guys get a chance to see the replay.. go for it. It's a classic... Great pitching, a few errors, a few great plays (and a couple of interesting calls!!) |

Not sure what GMAFB means. I'm not really up on rankings and stuff, it was a thrill when I found that out.. I added that to share some of the excitement. No. 2 Dunnellon faces. No. 1 Naples for 2010 Florida state softball championship | Ocala.com http://www.usatoday.com/sports/preps...l/rankings.htm (USA Today from May 6 - Dunnellon was #6) Needless to say, everyone in THIS area plays it up. I realize National rankings may leave something to be desired and they are opinions rather than head to head play, and each game is a new game, etc, etc. Last edited by HugoTafurst; Sat May 15, 2010 at 06:03pm. |

Yes, locals and promoters are going to make a big thing of it, but that doesn't make it valid.

There was a very good team from NC at one of the invitational tournaments we didn't play this year. The HSL now limits tournaments to 5 games maximum, which has kept away out of state teams that used to come.

Don't get me wrong, I would love to see something like a HS championship, but all you would have is a load of parents and coaches turning it into a business, cheating every step of the way which would turn the NFHS into the NCAA and pretty much screw it up for everyone.
