[Imnottelling]

You've got to be kidding! Highly respected by the coaches, I might be able to name one that likes him. Almost every team has scratched him. The kids will miss him, maybe the Pike County kids will. He sticks it everyone else.

I beg to differ with you on that one. He has reffed several games that I have seen where a Pike County team was playing Floyd County teams, Johnson County, Lawrence County....he was fair and unbiased in his calls. He didn't call more calls against the teams who were playing Pike County teams. Just like other refs he is human and he is going to miss calls just like the others...but the one's he sees and calls you can rarely -- if you are honest -- disagree with. I'll argue a call.....sometimes even when I see that the ref is right....simply because it's against my team but I have to say that there has only been one game where I saw calls that Sam made that I disagreed with more than once or twice in the game. Like it or not Sam is the best the 15th has....and I for one don't want him to quit.

Which school do you root for, bubba?
