I wish I could tell you who is officiating Saturday's AAAA game, in view of the crew I saw in the Lower State title game last night. Just not good enough. Given that they were clearly being "evaluated" last night, I can only assume they're in the hunt for championship game assignments. Scary.
Backscreen,
There were five officials on the pitch (four of them wired up) working the Fort Mill - Eastside match. Also, region assessor was seated up in the stands at midfield, along with a stand-by official in case one of the crew went down.
You would have loved it. We do it right up here in York County. What some see as "overkill", we call it "getting the job done"!
Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.
