Well, I can speak from MI experience.

It is common to work multiple games in one day, typically a ref could work a city V game or a frosh game @4:00 then hit a V game @ 7:00 in the burbs or perhaps a MS game then hit a V game.

Yes, it is true that the MHSAA is awaiting the Supreme Court response but informed sources are advising not to hold out much hope for a positive answer. It will be likely that next season will see more refs working 2 games a night to just accomodate the need for game coverage. The conferences will decide what format they will implement on an individual basis.

However, it is unlikely that the public schools will play games on Saturday due to the prohibitive cost for supervision and custodial staffing needs. The early surveys suggest that Girls and Boys will play on the same nights; that is, Girls home and Boys away or Varsity teams play at home while the JV teams play away. The reality is that some schools will be forced to drop the Frosh programs due to coaching or facility limitations as well.
