From what I have been hearing in my part of Michigan, boys and girls games will be on different nights, say boys on Tuesday and Friday, girls on Monday and Thursday, just an example. Games are done with 2 officials. I have also heard from a few athletic directors and game assignors that are asking varsity refs if they also wanted to do the JV game (most schools don't have a frosh team, due to size). In my opinion, this is hurting the younger officials by taking many JV games that would normally be given to younger officials. I would like to see 3 man crews work both games, which would give valuable experience to the third man, who hopefully would be a younger official. On another note, most assignors are planning for the worst and preparing to sign officials to games if Michigan returns to its girls in the fall and boys in the winter schedule.
My two cents
