Tonight all across this great Commonwealth, in communities large and small, will be Friday night lights! Please keep these things in mind as you go cheer on your favorite team. Sportsmanship! Cheer if you want, but please refrain from being negative towards at 15, 16 or 17 year old kid. Please do not criticize the coaches, they are doing what they feel is best for their team. Last, but certainly not least, Do not criticize the officials. Just because you pay your $5.00 to get in does not give you the right to demean the men and women in stripes. Remember if they are not their it's just a intermural game. While you do have freedom of speech, you do not have freedom from the consequences of what you say! 

This season, I pray their are no serious injuries. May your QB complete every pass, may your linemen, not miss any assignments, may your running backs not fumble the ball, and the receivers catch every pass. May your defense not give up any points, nor miss any tackles. May your DB intercept every pass, and may your LB's recover every fumble. But most of all good luck to every team, and all the coaches.

To my brother's and sister's in the stripes, be safe in your travels, may we get every call right and I pray this is your best year ever of officiating!

Good luck!

The only good thing about summer ending is football beginning!

I am ready!!

I am ready for some football. What I’m not ready for is seeing a noodle arm Quarterback lined up in shotgun tossing ducks to unskilled skill players, just run the damn ball.

What day does it start? ?

 

I’m going to continue your blessing:  “may the opposing team and fans act with sportsmanship,  may our offensive coaches call the right plays at the right time to hypnotize defenses, may our defenses confuse opposing offenses with their ever changing looks, and mostly let the referees do a great job seeing the plays, making unbiased calls and non-calls that do not favor either team or tilt the game in one teams favor.  May the best team win, and please let my team be the best team”.
