Back when I started, almost forty years ago, it was almost universal that boys played Tuesday and Friday nights, and girls played on Mondays and Thursdays (we use to have our board meetings on Wednesday nights).
Nice setup, especially for schools with one gymnasium. No need to close the folding doors and split the gym for practice (except for Wednesdays). Teams were guaranteed a full gym on at least two weekday afternoons, at convenient times right after school.
Plenty of officials to work both genders over four different nights.
Why it changed, I don't know?
Some schools now use a "one gender home, the other gender on the road" schedule, and some apparently schedule with a pair of fuzzy dice.
Now we have our board meetings on Sunday mornings, which pisses off those who want to attend religious services with their families.
