Friday Night Stripes: Tales From On and Off the Field

“”Friday Night Stripes”” tackles high school football from a completely unexpected angle – the crew chief, the guy in the white hat leading the officiating crew. Forget the familiar player’s perspective. This is a raw, unfiltered look at the world of referees. We’ll delve into the calls they make, the fans they (mostly) try to ignore, the coaches asking perplexing questions (trust us, not all questions are created equal!), and membership in a football association that turns the fun of refereeing football into a job. During the action of a game of 48 intense minutes, it unravels the intricate crew dynamics that may not always be evident to the spectators, interactions that can become tangled when seven officials don’t necessarily share the same perspective – or even like each other. — ASIN: B0DGY3TSWX | ISBN13: 9798338668092 | ISBN-13: 979-8338668092
