EAST TEXAS (KLTV) - Assistant Executive Director of the Texas Association of Sports Officials Bill Theodore discusses the ongoing issue of official shortages as the high school football season kicks off.

East Texas is also short on referees, he said, as those assigned to the region cover large geographical areas with many games.
