Does Your Group Work Double-headers?

[Texas Aggie]

Texas: the only doubleheader with a varsity game -- and it is extremely rare (i.e. 3 a year or so) -- isn't JV but a Junior High for a six-man football game. It involves private schools with limited budgets and they just bring the only 2 teams they have. Otherwise, Friday night is strictly varsity. I've never worked anything but a varsity game on Friday, though I've worked subvarsity every other day of the week (other than Sunday).

Thursdays are mostly Freshman or JV (some Frosh/JV at sites; others two of each at sites); smaller public schools play 7/8/JV at one site. Private schools will do a JV at one site and 7/8 at the other when they're playing a team in town. We have a fair number of varsity games on Thursdays each week usually due to school district wide stadiums. In my part of Texas, we rarely play on Saturday; other parts, including Houston, must play on Saturday due to numbers of games. They also play (V) on Thursday.

Wednesday games, if they happen, are the Freshman JV from above when the varsity teams play on Thursday nights. There are also freshman C team games on Wednesday, though that is rare.

Monday is 7th grade and Tuesday is 8th grade. Most of those are double headers; some have 3 games. That gets switched up during the State Fair of Texas as one Monday, usually in early October, is a school "fair day," and they don't play.

We stay pretty busy during the season.
