NORTH DAKOTA (KXNET) — On Friday evenings, it's not just athletes and coaches in North Dakota who will get a workout on the field, so does the crew wearing black and white. We're now in week two of the high school football season, and fortunately, people in charge of the officiating groups in western North Dakota say they're finding enough people to work the Friday night games. A few years ago, North Dakota went from four to five-person crews. But with more longtime referees retiring, officiating supervisors say last fall they struggled to make sure every game was covered.
