With Fall Officials' Appreciation Week last week, we wanted to share some info from Great Lakes Sports (our local assigning group.) This Friday, our officials will be covering 13 area games. That's 70 football officials just in our area. We thank all the officials traveling further distances to help cover all the games! Games without officials are called scrimmages! We are always looking for new faces to join our ranks!

As Fall Sports Officials Appreciation Week comes to a close, there’s one thing left to say: THANK YOU! 🙏💙🎉

Thank you to the officials who bring consistency, integrity, and dedication to every contest and help make education-based athletics possible for students.

We appreciate all that you do!

NSOA President Mitch Wilson and past President Bill Parker had a unique opportunity this weekend being able to work the U of M vs MSU baseball game at Turtle Creek Stadium.

Good to see NSOA official Bill Parker back on the field to fill in as white hat this week. Just like riding a bike!
