That’s truly ridiculous with all the 5-6A stadiums that should’ve been considered within a radius of both of those two teams. Even playing a game around 45 miles of one and 60 of the other, should’ve been considered. I digress, as UIL/TASO sends officiating crews hundreds of miles out of their “local” area to officiate a first or second round playoff game. Nothing like officiating a game during week 1 or 2 and you’re assigned (from SA) to officiate a game in EP or Amarillo and it’s a game of 9-1 vs 5-5, or etc! The admins need to really crack down on that during these first two weeks, as it’s absurd. I totally understand having a regional semi-final or Final, where the game is in Waco and they chose a Houston or SA chapter to do that game. A couple years ago, my crew had to go to the Southern Boot (B-Ville) to officiate a 1st week playoff game, as both HC didn’t want “local” referees. That shit takes time and $$$ for those involved, as hell I had to take the day off from work, so we could be down there early enough, and we’re from SA!!! Hook’em!!!
