Throwback Thursday. Charlie Ball. A legend working a high school game at The K in 2011......

Throwback Thursday....Tonka toys made of actual metal from early 1970's...... played with them when they were new. Thought they were gone but found them in mom and dad's house.....

Second to my father, Mike Etnire was one of the great influences on my life. ME passed away Tuesday. RiP ME. You had a great impact on sports from K through 12 and beyond. Your impact goes all the way to the pros.

Another one bites the dust. Steve Gripp is retiring from baseball after 55 years of service. He started as a young teenager and he will work his final game tonight. Congratulations Steve on a great career and thank you for what you did for the kids.

First time in 10 weeks I woke up and wanted to get up. Sitting outside with laptop and working. Bit chilly but refreshing. Time does cure most things. I'm sure there will be a few down days but looking ahead today and not back

Another June another month of Kansas Sports Officials Association @kshsaa clinics to get our staff even better

Back in 1983 when my dad got me into officiating I never knew how big of a fraternity it would be and how so many friends I would have. Thank you to my friends for this. Kansas Sports Officials Association KSHSAA NFHS UmpsCare ⚾️
