FWFO issues

[CoachSanders@ACS]

I was just informed that FWFO (Fort Worth) is no longer able to cover our home games due to a staff shortage. What other chapters are out there that are respectable and somewhat local to the Fort Worth area? Please advise, thanks!

Following. (Same issue) I reached out to Pecan Valley and Waco.

Hey coach, did FWFO offer a suggestion to do JH/HS on Thursdays?

Just for clarity, what does FWFO fully stand for?

Yessir, they did. Scheduling is a nightmare as it is, so it's a last resort for us. We have 21 boys in our HS, and they are involved in about everything possible in church, academics, and athletics; therefore changing up their structure would be a greater challenge than just finding a new crew to work our Friday night games....that is if that's even an option at this point.

I am sorry to hear about this Coach. Our Zebra numbers are hurting in chapters all across our state. The JH/HS stack on Thursday/Saturday has been the best option I have heard of for chapters to accommodate schools.

I don't know if we're 'respectable' enough or not, and I can't speak for our chapter assigner but can say with high confidence that Abilene can't cover - not just because of distance but because of lack of officials. We picked up one, if not two more schools to cover this year and we are absolutely maxed out.

I don't know how many officials are left in PV chapter (I heard there was a mass movement to FWFO a few years ago) so your best bet might be North Texas or Dallas.

It sucks but it is what it is. Most chapters can barely cover the games they have.
