District 22-2A Track


Recommended Posts

Corrigan ran away with the boys and SA ran away with the girls. It is very possible that the state champions for girls and boys will come from this district this year. Individually, Justin Twine (Hemphill) looked awesome in the boys.

I think one of the S.A. girls got hurt during her long jump try, but they still came in second from what I hear.

That freshman kid Justin Twine came in at fourth in the 100 meter run, not too shabby.

Danesia Williams blew out her knee in the long jump. She was an anchor on the 4X100 and the 4X200. She was the 1st leg on the 4X400. The 4X200 still advance by finishing second. Dejernel Jordan won the 800M. SA finished 3rd in the 4X400 and 7th in the 4X100. It was a gutsy performance by the SA girls given the fact they lost the District top point scorer.

    • A life is being taken in both instances.
    • I get it!!  I was once in your shoes. I was that person in the stands, loudly complaining about “bad officiating.” Now, with the rise of social media, it’s easier than ever to voice these criticisms online.  I thought I could see every call better than the officials on the floor. Then someone said to me, “If you can do better, get in the game.”   That challenge changed my life. Over 20 years ago, I became a basketball official, and what I’ve learned since then is eye-opening.   Officiating is not just about making calls. It’s about managing the game, the players, the coaches, and yes, the fans. We face a new generation of student-athletes who have been raised in a culture where everyone gets a trophy and losing is almost taboo. We deal with fans who question our integrity and sometimes become outright hostile.   I acknowledge that officials aren’t perfect; we have off days just like anyone else. However, the increasing hostility from fans is driving many to leave officiating. According to the National Federation of High School Associations, approximately 50,000 high school officials have left the profession since the 2018-19 season, with fan behavior being a significant factor.    Here’s the reality: without officials, there is no game.   So, instead of tearing down the people who make your games possible, here’s a suggestion:   • Thank the officials for being part of the game. • Thank them for the countless hours they spend studying rules, mastering mechanics, and working to improve. • Thank them for their patience with privilege-minded athletes and overly aggressive fans.   Next time you see an official, instead of criticizing, take a moment to say, “Thank you.” They’re out there to make the game happen, and trust me, it’s not as easy as it looks from the stands.   If you think you can do better, take the challenge like I did. Get in the game. You might just discover how much it takes to blow that whistle.
