Generally it is Monday JV, Tuesday-Thursday (depending on the league) middle school, Thursday is freshmen and Friday is varsity, Saturday and Sunday are youth leagues. However we occasionally have a team travel a long distance and could have a JV/varsity DH on a Friday. Also once last year had a team host the freshman and JV (on 2 different fields) at 3:30, with the JV crew sticking around for the varsity later in the evening, and some of us on the freshman game driving 15 minutes down the road for a varsity game with 2 different schools.
We have 18 high schools within a 1 hour drive, and barely enough officials to cover so we encourage schools to not double us up as working multiple games leads to more injuries and if someone goes down they would only have 4 on a varsity game as no one could get there to cover even if there was someone not working. (NOTE: This would probably be your best selling point, stress that the varsity game suffers due to the DH.)
I am in SW Washington State. However elsewhere around the state they do things differently. I know some places have frosh/varsity DH, with JV at opposite site on Monday. High schools only play on Saturdays around here during the playoffs so that youth leagues can get stadiums and officials, and schools know their gates tend to be bigger on days with school anyway (schools normally charge admission for all HS football games even sub-varsity).
