Once again, congratulations to all of the participants who were chosen to referee the tournaments.

Also, I would like to recognize personally on the successes of Pat Madine & Larry Mellinger.They were chosen as All-American officials for the 2^nd time in a row in New Orleans!These two talented officials represent what excellent officiating stands for.They are excellent role models on and off the field.I have learned an awful lot from these two gentleman over the past two years.I am awfully greatful of what they taught me.Without them, I would not be the official I am today.I will definitely use there wisdom to get myself to the next level.Once again, thank you for all the help you have given me, and the rest of Ohio University Intramurals over the years.Good luck, guys.I hope we will continue to touch base with each other in the future!
