Im not a veteran coach, but I actually have refereed games in that area before. The refs down there were never the best to begin with. Most were older guys that really couldn't keep up with the play. The Florence schools along with Hartsville always get fired up to play each other and the games always had a feeling of a ticking time bomb. I never had to control any fights but had to throw out coaches and players in those games before. Been escorted out twice by cops at WF because of the fans getting out of hand. This was quite a few years ago so I dont know how the atmospheres are now.
