While Ray Cliffe’s name is well known in the football circles around the state, what is most impressive is the number of years he spent officiating and umpiring. Ray spent a cumulative 114 years with a whistle in his mouth. He has logged hours mat side, pool side, behind the plate, on the hardwood and in the back field. In fact, so astute was Cliffe in the field of officiating, that he spent 15 years as a Missouri State High School Official Observer in the sports of football and basketball and another 14 years with the St. Louis Billikens as a Conference Observer.
