They were the only 2 that really objected it. The reasons why aren't very hard to find. Conway realizes that he can't beat Clay County, hasn't since he's been at North, and he wants to play the mental game. Durham on the other hand is in with some of the wrong officials in the region and will do anything to please them. The scratch list has been expnded to 5 I think. Don't hold me to that, but I know you get more than 2. The change on the North game was made because the girls scratced the official who was on the game. This does nothing but add the fuel to the fire for tomorrow night. The Tigers come out hot tomorrow night and beat the Jags suprisingly easy.

Even if Clay County does win, and even if the game is completly fair, there will now be that shadow of doubt in everyone's mind if Spurlock got to choose the officials again. That's why the assigning secretary should never let ANY coach have influence over his game assignments. It gives the perception of impropriety. And with the history of officials in the 13th and 14th regions, they should avoid any perception of a confict of interest.
