Absolutely picturesque ballpark in Wathena. ⚾️ Loved this place. Had great games and a good, young partner, too. 🤝

Another new spot for me, as I worked Hillsboro at Marion tonight. ⚾️ Left with a nice bruise on the forearm, but had a great time anyway. 🤝

Never know what you’re going to see at @SnCoParksRec youth soccer games. 🤡🦈⚽️

[Derrick Mead, CYSA @derkfor3]

Took a LONG drive today to work somewhere new. ⚾️ Beautiful night for baseball at a super fun facility. I worked Halstead at Larned in an old stadium that was apparently built for football about 100 years ago.

Had a great time. 🤝

Another new one today — worked Junction City vs Manhattan at Cico Park. ⚾️ Newly turfed, beautiful facility. Fantastic sportsmanship, too. 🤝

Today’s games moved a couple miles away over to Fort Scott Community College, so that was an unexpected new location for me. ⚾️
Had a great time with a good partner and teams. 🤝

Another beautiful complex as I made the trip to Fort Scott for a tournament here. ⚾️ Staying overnight to work again tomorrow — weather permitting. 🤞 Had a couple new teams and a couple familiar ones today. Had a great time. 🌳

First time working at Chapman tonight for baseball vs. Clay Center. ⚾️ Good partner and good coaches to work with. 🤝

[Derrick Mead, CYSA @derkfor3]

First time at Holton for baseball. ⚾️
They hosted Silver Lake. Second game was my longest HS game ever, but I had a good time with a new partner. 🤝

[Derrick Mead, CYSA @derkfor3]

Took a drive to Highland for Frankfort at Doniphan West tonight. ⚾️ Had a good time with some good weather.

High school ⚾️ is back!
3 games at the Air Capital Classic to start my @KSHSAA season today. ☀️

[Derrick Mead, CYSA @derkfor3]

Ended my high school season today with sub-state championship game at Clifton-Clyde. 🏀 Two great partners and a fun, loud environment. 🤝

Had a great season with a lot of highlights.
Since October 27, I officiated 173 basketball games in 131 days and visited 18 new locations.

Worked Paola at Bonner Springs tonight. Had a good time after weather killed my last two assignments. 🏀

[Derrick Mead, CYSA @derkfor3]

Took a detour to Pleasant Ridge Middle School in Overland Park to work a couple middle school games today. 🏀 Had a really nice partner and the loudest student section I’ve ever seen for middle school B games. Lot of fun. 👏🏻

[Derrick Mead, CYSA @derkfor3]

Fist time working basketball at Jefferson County North today. 🏀 Had a good time with my partner and great hospitality. 🤝
