A Day in the Life of an Official (Port Huron Times Herald)
September 25, 2012
At least six days a week and occasionally seven, officials all over Michigan suit up to manage our competitions.They do so mostly under the radar, as is the goal.
The Port Huron Times Herald's Joseph Hayes shines a small spotlight on this key part of making our games go. He took us inside the workings of an experienced football crew from that corner of the state, led by Marysville's Joe Venia.
