At 64, Judge Bill Rumer finds satisfaction and joy calling high school football games | Latest News | Columbus Ledger Enquirer

Friday nights were made for Bill Rumer.

He loves the smell of tailgating and concession stand hamburgers on the grill. He loves the sound of high school bands marching into a stadium and football players getting ready for the game.

“It is all like a festival,” he said. “It is beautiful. Man, I love it. I just love it.”

He loves it enough to stay in the game at 64 years old.

The former Jordan High School cornerback is still a part of it, and tonight when high school football kicks off across Georgia and Alabama, Rumer will be officiating the Kendrick-Stewart County game at A.J. McClung Memorial Stadium.

He’s a Muscogee County Superior Court judge by day and a side judge by night. While his day job is important, it is football officiating that gets him excited.
