Tony,
I started officiating volleyball in Ohio in 1983 and we were mandated by the OHSAA to have two officials for JV and Varsity contests and at least one for freshman and JH matches.
When I started, many of the schools used two officials for JH matches because that was where we trained our newer officials. By the time I left Ohio for California in 1993, JH was being officiated by one official most of the time because there were not enough to cover all of the JV and Varsity matches as well as the JH matches (I lived in rural NW Ohio and I never saw a freshman match during the 10 seasons I refereed there.).
