Rich May (referee), Jeff Green and Bill Lawton game at the Zeeland district final in the “storm of the century” Saturday June 5, went through a 30 minute delay, sheeting rain, both overtimes, and finally a shootout. Take a look at the photo and the great commitment of our 3 dedicated referees!

Jame Phonechanthasone and Paul Holwerda refereed a girls conference game between Forest Hills Eastern and South Christian. With a start time at 6:45pm delayed to 8:00pm because of lighting, 2 major stoppages because of injuries, a tie score, 2 overtime periods, fog moving in, and a shootout, the game ended at 10:40pm. Almost a 4 hour game!
