Title: HS Football playoffs begin tonight in Texas
Post by: Official_21 on November 12, 2021, 07:11:55 AM
First round of HS football playoff games in Texas is tonight. I am working one of the 3A Div I bi-district games myself, but I will be on the game clock.

To my fellow Texas Officials on these forums who are working tonight, please be safe and may you have a good game. tiphat:

The playoffs started last night. Six weeks will pass before we know it.

Ah, I stand corrected then.

Another lesson I learned.  Never mix sports.  I was fresh off the basketball court the night before and then had a football game.  The QB jumped in the air and came down still with the ball in his hands.  Luckily I caught myself but my hand nearly went up to call traveling.  It didn't but that is what my brain was trying to get me to do.  From then on.... One sport at a time.

Point taken, but at least in my case, I am up in the pressbox running the clock now ;)
