I didn't know about Martin and Gearhart. Both will be missed. Hall is a good official as are many of the others. Of course, in this day and age, we can't expect to see another Foster "Sid" Meade or George Conley.

For any former player who wants to remain close to the game, officiating would be a way to do so. It is also a good way to burn excess calories.

I can't speak for you, Truth, but I know that burning calories should definitely be a higher priority for a lot of us.

I'm not certain about Martin and Gearhart, but I have heard that they are going to be calling college only. Maybe one of the members of NEKBOA could give us an update on who will be returning.

I'd love to see each school in the region try to get at least one former player each year to put the whistle on. I know that many people would try it, and then decide it wasn't for them, but after about a five or six year run, we would have a lot more young talent calling games.
