First off, JR if you dislike girls' basketball so much do take the damn (please excuse my French) games.

Second, while jr. H.S. games (boys or girls) can be difficult, I really think the the most difficult are men's college jr. varsity. The colleges that have these teams are either NCAA Div. III or NAIA. Many times, the team consists of freshmen and sophomores who will eventually move up the the varsity so the school fields a team so that these players will get playing time, but to fill out the roster, there are football players on the team who played H.S. ball, but really are college caliber basketball players. To make things more difficult the officiating crews are usually two-man crews, which means you are really hustling up and down the court. Do not get me wrong, these games are some of the most fun games to officiate but the football players on the court sometimes forget that this is basketball not football. They do not play dirty, but they are little out of their element.
