An effort to recruit American Indians as high school basketball referees drew more than a dozen prospects on the Pine Ridge Reservation in southwest South Dakota and will expand to football and volleyball officiating.
The reservation, which covers much of an area from Highway 83 west to the Wyoming border and from Interstate 90 south to Nebraska, did not have any basketball or football officials until last year, said Wayne Carney, executive director of the South Dakota High School Activities Association.
