RAJR Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Have to say the officiating at Elwood was outstanding. Had to be one of the best crews in the state. Well, except for 2 older guys with glasses that may need a trip to the eye doctor. :-). I kid, I kid! There weren't names in the program but recognized several and a few were new faces to me. Thank you gentlemen! awood2 and rdrodd1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awood2 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Sorry, no venting. The IHSAA was very kind to the Elkhart Sectional - they weren't terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awood2 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 One of those guys has been reffing since Woody Hayes was a coach at Miami of Ohio. Interesting thought... Who are the most 'senior' officials still active. Tonight, I had the chance to re-hydrate with the veteran Jimmy Troyer from North Manchester, IN. He has been refereeing for as long as I have been alive! I am pretty old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdrodd1 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 That is a good question. Maybe Grecoref can help us out on this one. I think Frankie has been around for a long, long time as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awood2 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 (edited) You didn't kick him in the head again, did you? Ooohhh! Somebody has been around awhile. One, if I get my knees as high as his head anymore I need a surgeon. Two, if he had not called me for stalling in OT it would have never happened. I couldn't beat the guy I was wrestling, so I did a WWF move on the ref and it worked. For those of you who aren't sure yet... 1994 quarterfinals at 189#'s You could ask him about it but he doesn't remember...

Jdhomes Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 The two veterans refs at crownpoint sectionals today were on point. i would bet one of them has been around for a while... good guy. awood2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awood2 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 For the record, I am familiar with 3 of the 4 at Memorial today. The 2 of those 3 have not done a state finals yet, but IMO are due. Adam T. and Lars S. have proven their consistency and have refereed many tournaments that I think would qualify them for the state level. The 4th certainly proved himself today in what can be a very challenging environment for officials. Veteran coaches, knowledgeable fans, and evenly matched wrestlers can make for a very volatile mix for some officials. This crew went unnoticed for much of the day. You can't ask for much more. #PainRV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
