Thank you, @JonathanD_TV, for bringing attention to our shortage and promoting officiating across the state.

WATCH: #Michigan has seen a drop of 37% since 2008 in HS officials. It's causing games to be canceled. The average age of @mhsaa refs is just shy of 50 yrs old & if they can't get younger, or at least new, officials to join, HS sports remain in jeopardy
