The end result of what many of you are proposing is that a player will have to pick between HS and TB sports. As a varsity HS Coach, I can tell you that if a player missed games due to TB then they made a choice. I have to make a choice. HS coaches have to make their position clear in their parent meetings. What is at state are conference championships along with regional (Districts to some) and Sectional concerns at seed meetings. Some schools, such as the one I coach at, have options due to numbers. Some do not.
WRT Prom or Homecoming, our school has a policy on those two dates. We do not play varsity contests on those dates. In my first year as the HC at my HS, we played a DH against the top-ranked team in the state and the program I came from as an AC. We went extra innings and won. However, that game took so long that those upperclassmen who had spent all of that money on Prom were in a bad spot. I let all of them go and played the second game of the DH with my JV. It ended in five innings and I was OK with that.
My 2 cents.
