The answer probably varies from state to state, but the NFHS rule says the home team scorebook unless the referee rules otherwise.

Once had to give a stern warning to a home scorekeeper for wearing earphones during a game.
In Ohio tournaments, at least in my area of the state, there is a neutral official scorebook at the table in addition to the two teams. At all the tournament games I've attended, that scorer has wore stripes...even before the rule requiring them to do so.

I once kept the scorebook for girls/boys JV double header when I was a senior in high school. The referee looked at me, looked at the obviously more experienced visitor scorekeeper, promptly pointed to the visitor's book and said, "This will be the official book today." Didn't hurt my feelings at all.
