    I thought this was a pretty good article

    Would be interested in the officials comments on it

    UIL is in some trouble if they dont do something..Younger Offiicals are NOT coming into the system like they used to and their could be a SEVERE shortage soon, already a shortage now, but it could get to an extreme level in the next couple of years

    Biggest problem is that the pay for subvarsity is being cut next year (90% done deal) and some of the current young guys are going to quit. It will also hamper the recruitment on other new officials.

    The only thing the article did not cover is the more diverse areas covered by the none metro chapters. Last week we left town at 1:00 pm for a game and got home at 3:00 am. Total driving was 380+ miles. But we got to see the #2 ranked team in 4A beat a pretty decent team.
