Does anybody else have a problem with NTX not having the Wichita Rider and Wichita High game or is it just me (and no I am not from that chapter)?
This happens every year to almost every chapter. Yes, it is a huge problem. If my chapter supports your requirements from varsity down to 7th grade all year long, you really are obligated to use my chapter when you play another school that my chapter supported. When a chapter works a school's home scrimmage, they are obligated, by the UIL, to support that school all year long due to the school paying for the officials to the chapter. A strong message needs to be sent by chapters that get hosed in the playoffs to those schools that pull this BS by not sending officials to their home scrimmages the next year, with the message that you are on your own for officials this season. Also, when a chapter agrees to support a team's entire program from varsity to 7th grade, there should be a contract between the varsity schools in that district agreeing to utilize that chapter when in the playoffs when playing another school that chapter supports. No one ever seems to want to make a stand. But then again, there may be a lot more involved than most of us know. As long as coaches know they can get away with it, they will. This gets back to the whole coaches having the right to scratch.
