    Sunday - Middles again until 5:00 PM kickoff. ARs need from 8:00 AM to 2:15 PM
    I can use junior refs as ARs for these games if necessary.

    McCURRY SOUTH

    Saturday - Middle openings start at 3:30 PM and continue through the 8:00 PM kickoffs. The last two slots need 3 middles each. I need a slew of ARs for 8:00 AM but then not again until 12:30. AR needs increase as the day goes on right up to the 8:00 PM kickoffs.
