When I'm doing girls games, I say "ladies". When I'm doing boys and men, I use the word "fellas".

I would say, if your career path is that of NCAA-Women's, then follow the expectations of that level. But at the HS level, which is only place I will officiate females, then I don't see a problem using the term, "ladies".
