In the western U.P., it appears that newer/younger (1st,2nd year) officials are being assigned varsity girls' games, while more experienced officials are being assigned boys' varsity games and are having fewer assignments to girls' varsity.

That's what I was referring to before, mick. Eventually, the girls' coaches will figure this out and they'll complain to ADs, conference comissioners, and assignors. Mark my words, it will happen.

The only feasible solution that we found was to play a VG/VB doubleheader and send one crew to work both games. Quite honestly, two games on Tuesday and Thursday is a lot less taxing on officials than one game played nightly over a 4 day period. It's also better travel wise and is less expensive for the schools with regard to overhead.
