Only Three Weeks Left We’re down to the final three weeks of the regular season. Soak it in and give your best effort each and every time you step on the field. Teams are playing for playoff eligibility, emotions are high, and many seniors are nearing the end of their football careers. Meet the moment – expect elevated emotion, keep your feet moving and get in between players to deescalate before you reach for a flag. Let the players enjoy the game, but never lose control of it.

Classification Exams Make sure you complete your classification exams for both tackle and flag (if applicable). These are due Thursday, October 30th at midnight. Do not wait until the last minute – postseason eligibility depends on completion of this exam.

Enforcement Question – Food for Thought From Coover’s Bulletin: After a touchdown, a Team A player taunts his opponent and is flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct (UNS). Team B chooses to have the penalty enforced on the ensuing kickoff. Then, on the successful PAT, Team B roughs the kicker. What’s the proper enforcement?

Answer: Both fouls are enforced on the ensuing kickoff, and the yardage will offset. The kickoff will be from the Team K 40-yard line.

Hudl Playlist – Pregame Discussion Tool I sent out a Hudl playlist earlier today featuring plays from a recent Chaminade vs. Amat game. The officiating in this game was strong across the board, and the film includes several sequences that make for excellent pregame discussion points. Review it with your crew and talk through how you’d handle those situations and how you want your crew communication to look this week.

Let’s keep pushing toward a strong finish to the regular season. See you on the field,
