On the other hand, there are some 13th region officials that are very capable and I would put them up against the best in Kentucky. Two of the three were very good last night. I watched the Corbin/Harlan County game at Corbin and didn't notice one bad call. In the big South Laurel win against Covington Catholic, South may have gotten one or possibly two breaks from the officials but that's it. Another game that I didn't notice a single bad call was the Corbin/Lexington Christian game. Paul Nicholson is about as good of an official as you can find anywhere.

I totally agree with you about Nicholson, I have long thought he was the absolute best in the 13th. No showboating, doesn't try to be bigger than the game, just solid, consistent officiating.
