What others have already said is correct. In Nevada, we only have Varsity and JV teams, so freshman games are not an issue. We play two 40-minute halves for both levels.
To give you exactly what the NFHS rules book says:
Rule 7 Section 1 Art. 1
"...Two equal halves of 40 minutes each shall be played unless, by state high school association adoption, four equal quarters of 20 minutes each are specified. It is recommended that junior high schools play 30-minute halves unless by state high school association adoption, four equal quarters of 15 minutes each are specified."
I guess it comes down to how your area handles it and what grades are defined as middle school, junior high, and high school where you are.
