The real issue here is that the boys can't stop her from putting up 30 points. If that's true, she could put up 60 in a girl's game, and it wouldn't be any fun for her. Why shouldn't she be able to play against the best competition available?

I am going to guess because it will not last into HS, once the boys hit their growth spurt and start to shut her down.. Hypothetically if she was good enough to score 30 a game at the varsity boys level she will be playing in the guys side, I would think..

On this, we had Betty Lennox at our school when I was there.. She was WNBA rookie of the year and MVP, they had an awesome girls team with her.. It did not stop the JV boys from putting a whooping on her team..

Sidenote..

This past year in tennis they finally gave womens tennis equal money for winning the trophies.. I am all for fairness, but shouldn't they have to win 3 out of 5 like the guys to get the equal money??? If I were the guys I would be bitching to play less sets and win 2 out 3.. It would cut back on injuries.. and be fair..

The guys should get more money if they are playing more sets in the event.. They have to play 33% more sets just to get equal pay on winning??
