Let me run this by you: Over 80% of the referees in the 14th region are located in the 53rd and 54th districts.
The 56th has 1 from Owsley, 1 from Powell, 0 from Lee, and 0 from Estill (after A.J. Davis quit). The 55th has about 8 from Wolfe and Breathitt combined.
All the power and control of referees has always rested in the 53rd or 54th. Right now it is centered in Knott County with Tommy Hall as the assigning secretary. Before that it was in Perry County for many years.
If you don't like the one referee from Owsley County then get Tommy to send you one of your boys in your back door. You've certainly got plenty to pick from. Don't blame the 56th District with our 2 officials. If it wasn't for Wolfe's 6 refs in the 55th there would hardly be any officials north of the Perry County line.
Why is this? From what I've been told most of them don't feel like they get a fair shake from the power center in the southern part of the region and they don't stay in the association very long. It's been that way for a long time, probably all the way back to the 1920's and 1930's in the infant days of organized high school sports. And it hasn't changed since.

The one official who is still officiating seems to always have the big home girls game for PCC and you know where his allegiance lies when he starts calling. The year Shelby Valley won the state, they suffered a loss a the hands of PCC at the Punkin Palace on a phantom call from an Owsley official(who may no longer officiate).
