Sports Shorts - 7/26

TASO looking for officials

Are you interested in earning a little extra money? Do you like sports? Well, this may be the time for your to get involved in being a sports official. The Texas Association of Sports Officials is currently seeing a shortage of officials for the upcoming football season. Simply put, the amount of new officials coming in has not been as high as the amount that are leaving. You factor more and more new schools that pop up every year, and that starts to become a problem. If things continue to slip, you could see more varsity football games played on Thursday and Saturday night instead of the large majority of games currently played on Friday.
