North Dakota High School Football Huddle
hi
For those of you that dislike the zebras...a.k.a. referees/officials...guess what? You can't play without them! In fact, according to a report in the Associated Press, that's going to be proven out in North Dakota. Evidently there's a shortage of referees that could impact the high school football schedule.

While, North Dakota seems to have a shortage, check-out a story in the Boston Globe that says the weakening economy is finding people going to the sporting goods store to buy whistles.
