Fort Knox/Todd County Central - NO OFFICIALS?

[Hearsay]

About four or five years ago, I was coaching a middle school game at Fort Knox and no referees appeared because they were stopped at the Brandenburg gate. They are deadly serious about having the pass to get in. Don’t know if that may be what occurred, but it’s possible.

As it stands, I'm yet to hear anything on the record, but I've heard multiple reports that Fort Knox contacted the assigning secretary about the game, but there were not any officials assigned to the game.

At what point in the week or day does Fort Knox cut checks for officials for home games? Wouldn't that person at the school contact the AD and say 'we need officials names to cut checks for Friday.'

 

Word has it Fort Knox will reimburse travel costs as they should. Teams warmed up. Anthem was played. Everyone thought the refs were on site I guess.

 

It's the second time in three years Todd County has had a bizarre game. In 2017, they were leading Fulton City big at halftime, and Fulton City said they were not going to play the second half and left.

 

You have to be careful trying to schedule wins outside your area. Things like this can happen when you don't know the coach or AD of the school you are playing.

I find it hard to believe that whatever association covers that area couldn't come up with five officials, even on short notice.

 

Shoot, they could've found that many people in the stands who THINK they are officials.... :banana:
