In the Dayton, OH area, the vast majority of boys varsity games use three officials, but none of the girls have used three. It's my understanding that next year, the big-school leagues around here are going to three whistles for girls varsity for the first time. The small school leagues will still be two whistles for girls varsity games. Don't think it's a Title IX sitch, but rather a move to keep some of the older, more experienced officials (who maybe have lost a step along the way) in the game.
