All Girls, All the Time

I find your arguments pretty compelling. I guess it really depends on the depth of your officiating pool. I saw two guys that can't handle a MS girls game get assigned to ref two of the top 4A girls teams last season. The game was very poorly handled, a typical outing for this pair. Inconsistent calls, poor handling of the post play, a lot of ball-watching, etc. I have watched them for years and they were at their best that night, which still ain't too pretty. The game was well-played, came down to the last shot, and the girls deserved better officials. You ar etalikng about two of the top ten teams in the DC metro area.

If you have good enough JV officials that can and will (or must) handle these games, give them these games. But I have read quotes saying that refs would rather do MS boys than HS girls, which shortchanges the HS girls. They work too hard at this to get sub-standard officiating.
