The Smoky Mtn. Referee's Assn. has a reputation of being a notch below Knox. and Morristown. That's not saying much because they have alot of bad refs too. Ref's in today's game, especially in high school, seem to think that the fans are there to see them blow their whistles. A good ref will not "stand out" during a game. The refs at G-P were bad (especially the young one). What makes it worse is that the Dist. Tour. will be played at Pigeon Forge and they use Smoky Mtn. refs too!
