Stockdale was assigned to work 33 state basketball tournaments across IHSAA and IGHSAU, including 10 title appearances and 18 consecutive boys’ tournaments. He worked alongside John Conlon and Ryan Eklund during his successful run, and also officiated three years in the American Rivers Conference in NCAA Division III.
