The playoffs are here! Andre Kirilenko and Ronnie Price from the Utah Jazz dropped by at the game. Later, we found there were many Jazz players at various playoff games today. Today was the most unbelievable weather for October 26th I've ever seen. It was a great day and probably the funnest game I had during the year thus far. We had not only a great crew, but a lot of offense and action on the field. I was surprised to see Timpanogos move the ball so well against Northridge. After a scoreless first quarter... we had 7 touchdowns in the 2nd quarter. The 3rd was scoreless and the 4th was Northridge giving up too many turnovers which Timpanogos capitalized on by scoring twice and winning 42-26.

Oct 23, 2007 - Playoffs and the man behind the camera

My neighbor and best friend Ralph Hulse has come to every varsity game this year and has been taking pictures for our games as well as attending state playoff games for a few years now. I would venture to say he has listened to about 30 varsity pre-games and in a pinch we could suit him up at a moment's notice. Thanks to him, I get to relive and share my experiences through photos. But, today, as he does have a real job, like the rest of us, he was not able to make the play-in game between Fremont and Clearfield. Here's to Ralph and for all of his assistance. He actually takes vacation so he can attend the playoff games.

The two teams had just played on Friday and it turned out almost an identical game with Fremont winning 33-14. I did not like the 4 pm start as not only did that not allow Ralph to get there, I had to deal with the sun so badly in the 4th quarter I was praying they would not throw the ball my way as we were moving to the south. I was totally blind while following the receivers and the flight of a pass. Craig

Oct 21, 2007 - JV Crew finishes up

The Ogden association assigns everyone that can work to a JV crew. We work together all year and it is nice to have the chance to work either another position or meet new officials. This year I was blessed with a very strong JV crew: Chris Reid, Matt Richards and Mark Elkins. All seasoned officials that made working much easier that many years past. I hope to get a picture of us posted soon.

I thought we had probably too many penalties as a crew. The weather was crisp but very pleasant as long as you were moving.
Woods Cross played tougher than I thought but lost 22-12 to the league leading Bobcats.
Playoffs start next week!
