Dear Fellow Official,

 

Here is an update on ECBOA happenings and events:

 

*  I'm pleased to announce that ECBOA has been awarded two Girls State games again this year including an 8A Semi-Final game on Friday March 1st (Crew #1 Blake, Walcheski, and Westley Shelton), and a 7A Finals on Saturday March 2nd (Crew #2 Benz, Bates, and Willie Shelton).  Of the six officials going to the Girls State Finals, five are going for the first time which is a testament to our commitment to send more officials to State, and demonstrates the confidence the FHSAA continues to have in us.  Congratulations guys, good luck, and thanks for representing ECBOA.

 

*  On the Boys side we had five crews officiate Regional Semi-Final games, and we have three crews going out for Regional Finals on Friday March 1st.  The feedback about our crews has been positive, and we've had some exciting games including a triple overtime game in Miami.

 

*  Plan to attend our annual ECBOA banquet and awards ceremony on Friday March 15th at the Lake Worth Golf Club in Lake Worth.  Everyone is invited and allowed to bring one guest.  The banquet runs from 6:30 - 9:30 pm, we have a great menu planned, and we will have DJ Brian coming in from New York to provide the music this year.  This is always a fun event and a great way to end the season.

 

*  District invoices have been sent to host schools and Erik will begin issuing checks once the funds are collected.  For Regional games, the referee on each crew is responsible for getting the checks to Erik and providing information on who drove.  Please contact him directly with any questions.

 

Thanks and don?t forget our banquet on March 15th,

 

Joe Erwin

President
