We jump right back into the fire on Friday night.
against biggest factors freshman half lack northern officials schools section supply
One of the biggest factors was a lack of officials ... the commissioner of officials (Bert Haskins of Merced) said he just couldn't supply enough during the winter. Also, the schools in the northern half of the section were against it for lack of fields. A lot of those schools have freshman teams.
