Last Thursday Hannah, Brian, and I met up with my dad to go watch cousin Ross’ football game. He plays outside linebacker for the Everett high school C team. The game went about how I thought it would and the high school football experience from a fan’s perspective was about how I remembered it.
What I had forgotten about were the officiating crews. Back in high school I somehow was able to land a job working on the chain gang for the home C and JV football games at BEHS.
I’m quite certain there are striped jerseys hanging from the gym rafters at the school in honor of our crew’s professionalism and efficiency. Yet, somehow I had forgotten about the chain gang ever being a part of my life.
I wonder if Hannah would be ok with me seeking part time employment as a football official. It is, after all, a tough economic environment and I have past experience to draw from.
Hannah is adorable but soon she will need a bigger coat to keep the mini warm. Call me! I have a box of stuff for preggy magee. And Barry, I can see you in your bright colored rain gear so go for it! If ya can’t work with Sig you better do the next best thing!
