Northern Lakes League normally has this kind of setup as a Friday DH. I kinda like it IMO.This Friday I will get to see my first time a Girls Varsity play before the Boys Varsity. What does everyone think of this setup?

You can throw in a lack of Girls Teams too! There are many Schools in SW Ohio that only have JV and Varsity Girls. Some of the JV Teams May have 7 Girls on the Team. Freshman Girls Basketball almost extinct in numerous Leagues down this way. Gonna get real interesting that’s for sure.going to become the norm in a few years due to a lack of officials.
This is a nightmare setup! Our league is doing a trial run of it this year with both teams doing it at both sites, flip flopping boys and girls. It was great, there was a fantastic atmosphere for the girls game which started at 6pm. We’ll see in a few weeks how it goes when the boys go first.MOCAL has done it in central Ohio and there’s been extremely negative feedback from what I can tell. The difference is they go Girls Varsity, Boys JV, and Boys Varsity. Supposed to start at 5:00/6:30/8:00, but usually starts around 8:30 or later, which has some late nights.
I have heard of several games ending after 10:00pm on school nights, often at locations 45+ minutes away. I imagine that 2OT game last night would have ended close to 10:30pm. Oof.
Good luck!This Friday I will get to see my first time a Girls Varsity play before the Boys Varsity. What does everyone think of this setup?
It didn't happen this year, but Princeton and Winton Woods have in the past done an all-day Saturday event for their teams. One ticket gets you the whole day starting in the late morning with 9th grade teams, both JVs, then girls varsity and ending with boys varsity. I think it's great!Little Miami and Kings did this recently. They are rival nearby schools and the girls played right before the boys. From what people told me in was a fun atmosphere for both games and both varsity teams enjoyed it. Couldn’t find a seat for either game. Seems like a good idea especially for rival schools to at least try out.
I think sooner or later some places will just decouple the reserve games from the varsity contests entirely. Freshmen/JV on Saturday mornings, nights separate from varsity action. I also think we’ll see the end of JV overtime in places — tie or sudden death.This is a nightmare setup!

Both matchups were on Friday nights, with both JV games being played in a DH on Saturday morning. Trying to do a triple header is brutal, and you’re basically insinuating that BJV is more important than GV…not a great look, and I can see why the feedback would be negative.
To this would be a spot to implement the Elon ending. Unless both teams are just horrendous shooting, it should end it relatively quickly.I think sooner or later some places will just decouple the reserve games from the varsity contests entirely.

Common practice since day 1 down here in South Carolina. Went to my first game back in 2004 and was perplexed that the girls were playing prior to the boys.This Friday I will get to see my first time a Girls Varsity play before the Boys Varsity. What does everyone think of this setup?
pre-covid, like maybe 2018 or 2019, a school in my district even did a night where they played a girls varsity bball game, followed by a varsity wrestling dual and then capped off by a boys varsity bball game. The same school was the opponent for all 3 contests. Was a LONG night I was told but successful in showcasing all of 3 sports.This Friday I will get to see my first time a Girls Varsity play before the Boys Varsity.

I would be very interested to see the logistics of this. Did they have multiple gyms setup?pre-covid, like maybe 2018 or 2019, a school in my district even did a night where they played a girls varsity bball game, followed by a varsity wrestling dual and then capped off by a boys varsity bball game.

I'd like to see this happen for one Saturday only. Make it for the main rival. Then on a Friday or Saturday the following week having varsity only Girls/Boys double-header. Having a JV double-header on a day the Varsity doesn't play. Maybe have one school host on Friday and the other school host Saturday. Guess you could do Thursday/Friday as well in that setup. I think increasing that format would be nice. I'd say maybe 40% of said format and 60% JV/Varsity Girls Thursdays & boys JV/Varsity Fridays the rest.It didn't happen this year, but Princeton and Winton Woods have in the past done an all-day Saturday event for their teams.
