Is everyone else seeing "the refs letting them play"

[Heavy D]

Over the years I have noticed that the losing teams do most of the complaining. When a team is complaining about officiating before the game is played tells me that team doesn't have much confidence in there self and looking for an excuse for losing. I know I get tired of hearing it. Most of the winning programs in the state I never hear say anything about the officiating. They just go out and take care of business and make the adjustments needed to do so.

Part of the reason for this is because those teams play against quality opponents, and both hire quality officials. Most of the "winning programs in the state" are not subjected to the kind of officials we usually see in the TVC Hocking. Also, I have heard from some officials that it is only going to get worse due to some Hocking schools lowering the amount they pay officials. Why go to Trimble and make $50 when you can go to Logan and make $70?

You couldn't get me to take that kind of abuse for $50 or $70.
