of course the high school they will go to has been to the state tournament final four like 8 times in 10 years,lol

Nowadays, you are probably right. But when I went into the 7th grade, I was maybe 5'4"/5'"5. But, when I came back for 8th grade, I was 6'0" - and the tallest person in my class. So, maybe I'm just picturing the kids I went to school with.

Ewe tough subject..

Part of me thinks, let the girl play she has been on the team since 2nd grade.. And the other teams should have known about her for a long team since it is the same league for years..

The only IFFY part comes in IF the other players are treating her differently.. (IE not playing her as tough since she is a girl).. The coaches just need to teach the boys to treat her equally and shut her down..

But if the girl is actually good and the other teams are just trying to find a way to win like this, then that is total BS and they should all be publicly shammed..

Did she EAT one of the boys?

Dear God, that girl is a monster.

Nevertheless, let her play.

So most boys do not pick on girls and treat them as tough or even worse when growing up? I did, maybe even worse.

I have been wrong before but I expect the parents have more to do with this BS than the boys.

It has been happening since the 2nd grade and now they decide she is not a player that they treat the same way?

At 12 years old?

I call BS, maybe they need to make them all not losers and not keep score.

""They said the problem was the boys were playing differently against her because she was a girl," Franzer said, according to the paper. "They'd been taught to not push a girl, so they weren't fouling her hard, and the focus had shifted from playing basketball to noticing a girl was on the floor with them.""

Yea they are playing different, they are scared shitless of her.......

I have no problem with a girl playing basketball with the boys.......about the only sport I have a problem with a girl competing with the boys, is wrestling....as an ex high school wrestler I know first hand, it can get a little intamite on the matt......plus I know of a couple of moves wich would not be as effective on a girl as it is on a boy due to the lack of chestnuts......

From the way I see my nieces and nephews act, no.. Kids are a lot less physical with girls in that way.. Now verbally is another story..

And I agree with the parents having more to do with it.. They are the ones that are teaching the values to em..

When I was in high school it was unheard of for girls in boys sports. Now they have two girls on the wrestling team. As a former HS wrestler and a father of two teenage daughters, there's no way in hell I'de allow my kids to play the sport.

A line has to be drawn in the sand somewhere, and girls basketball is an option schools give. Let her dominate the female side of the sport and get a free ride through college to boot.

Basileus777 · 05-26-2008, 06:50 PM

I don't think there is any reason she shouldn't be able to compete with boys at that age. When she goes to highschool however, there is no way she belongs on a men's team.

If she can keep up, why not?

Braincase · 05-26-2008, 08:24 PM

If they don't have a comparable girls program, then they need to either start one or let her play up. I personally think that that parents of the boys team that complained are raising little beotches.

Maybe she's a Puerto Rican 12 year old girl who is actually 23?

Pablo · 05-26-2008, 10:01 PM

She's playing against 12 year old boys...they're prolly popping wood every time she brushes up next to them.

"Coach, I gotta come out, it hurts down there again."

"Dammit, that's like the 4th time, sit down and put some ice on it again."

Unfair advantage indeed.
