PHOTO: (Tina Brooks/JDN) Officials Calling Boys Coastal Conference Tournament Championship Game - "Three Surrounded & Watched By Hundreds"...Yes, it's tough to be perfect with every call (half of the fans will agree with you-the other half don't!-usually!)...but they ARE trying to make the correct call!..."Three Watching Ten" - Thanks Officials for allowing the game to be played!

It's Not Going Away Or Improve Without Everyone's Help!  Please Help With YOUR Proper Behavior And Encourage Those Around You!...

Would YOU Consider Becoming A Referee?...High School Grad?-College Student?-Military?...Enjoy the Game You Enjoyed!...Check out Battlefields2Ballfields (recruiting military veterans to officiating @ https://battlefields2ballfields.org).

You do know that all officials are trained, tested, graded, practice at clinics & scrimmages and get that all-important OJT (each year!); probably starting with youth league or JV games.

WE have to do something! THANK YOU TO OUR OFFICIALS!
