Let me just say, that you Lake Charles refs are the worst in the state, but at least you don't need a raise considering Barbe pays extra ;)

Figured someone would come up with this sooner or later. And just to let you know our association is requested by coaches throughout the state, so we must be doing something right

But that being said, there are good officials in every association and bad officials in every association. Unfortunately our numbers do not allow us to have observers that know rules and mechanics at every game for us to know who's who (by the way, we don't listen to the people in the stands for this, we try to listen to coaches and observers). We try to train, but in all reality it takes at least five years worth of snaps to become competent and our numbers sometimes force us to put officials on the field who are not ready. If anyone reading feels that they could do better, then come on out, we could use you. A lot of our experience left us for Texas or just left because of all the hoops we have to jump through because of the last round of talks.
