twitterBehind the Scenes: B.J. Burris
Thursday, March 23, 2000 | 10:56 a.m.
B.J. Burris / Softball referee
Contribution to prep sports: Burris, a member of the Southern Nevada Officials Association for the past 10 years, officiates softball, volleyball and basketball games at the high school level, along with NCAA volleyball and softball and various community and youth sports. "I started officiating when I stopped playing sports," Burris said. "Ever since then, I've really enjoyed it. I love seeing the kids come in as freshmen and finish their careers four years later. I enjoy watching the kids grow up. That's a real rewarding aspect of officiating." As for her philosophy on officiating, Burris said she has a simple approach. "I realize that nobody's going to be happy with what you do."
