Kentucky High School Official, Brian Taylor received some validation of his dedication, knowledge and professionalism recently. Brian was notified that he would be officiating in the State Championship series in Bowling Green. That alone is an accomplishment for an official, but for Brian, there is more. He is also a college official and received notification that he would also be working in the NAIA playoffs this season. Brian not only has a full-time job and works as a high school official, he also works college games in the NAIA, primarily in the Mid-South Conference. In addition to his many accomplishments, Brian also had a short stint in the NFL during the official strike a while back.

 

Brian is not only an official that I have seen call many games over the years, I consider him a very good friend that I have known over 20 years. His dedication and tireless work to make his job performance and the games he calls better is appreciated by, not only me, but many that have had the pleasure of being around him on the field on Friday nights and Saturday days. He is a dedicated and professional official and he has made the game better by simply being part of it.

 

Tip of my cap to Brian for a job well done and I look forward to seeing him on the field for a long time going forward. Congratulations friend.

 

As one who has officiated games let me say that's very cool for him.

Congrats brother!
