The last part of the statement is inaccurate. Crews are assigned two weeks out, and sure, you have your best crews on your highest profile games or games with biggest playoff implications. There is a thought process on who goes where each week(we have approximately 10-12 days of notice). I can recall at least 2 games I worked last season featuring an out of state opponent and no less than 60 years of (combined)experience was on each of those fields. Games featuring an out of state opponent do not automatically get the inexperienced crews. Where you really see the experienced guys is past round 2 of the playoffs. With the numbers the way they are, we are just happy to get the games covered every week, putting newer guys with veterans to gain them valuable experience in a big game environment is not uncommon. Contrary to popular belief, we are ALWAYS trying to improve and elevate the level of officiating in our part of the state for the student-athletes and member schools we serve.

Hoping to see a third matchup happen this year with both teams rested and their ace pitchers whoever that may be on the mound in the end - TBD

Looks to be played in Jenkins.

So what would you have done? You had a major cross-town rivalry and then the big M7 game just days apart. Literally, every coach would start your two aces in those two games that mattered... and that was the plan. And then when an illness happens, you just have to roll with what you have. And in a week where you play 3 games in 5 days, he was out of varsity arms. How would you have played it?

Chris Fugate has been named Head Coach at Gate City, he has 26 years as an assistant in the program.

Biggest game of the year for Battle will be played next month in Salem

Naw they would replace those 3 with Salem, EC Glass and Pulaski Co

To to inject a little humor into this topic, If auburn, Bland and Craig all ended their football programs, you would be putting enormous pressure on the AD at Narrows to find 3 more regular season cupcakes to continue their impressive string of regular season successes
