When you think of sports, you may not think about officiating, but officiating plays an integral role in the gameplay of sports. Chris Durham has been a referee in central Illinois for over 6 years and continues to enjoy it. Durham has been named the Big Smile For The Community Award for February.  Durham says the love for the sport is why he does it.

Durham says that they are always looking for more people to help out with refereeing.

Durham also wants athletes to know that they need to keep working at it and to never give up.
