A sixth-grade girls’ basketball team from northern Kentucky was banned from a boys’ basketball league after romping through the regular season to reach the championship.The squad from Next Level Girls Basketball notched a 7-1 record in a city-wide basketball league run by Southwestern Ohio Basketball and was preparing for the championship when league president Tom Sunderman notified the athletic academy that it would be too risky to let them play for the title, reported WVXU-FM.

      yeah I was under the impression the mens was supposed to be unlimited and the womens were to allow for more female representation. I had no idea they barred a woman from competing in the mens. some bs there.

    Ah, so they are concerned the boys will exhibit poor sportsmanship. Yes, yes, then let’s punish the girls /s It will show them how it is in life I suppose 😔

    Can you imagine being on the boys team that wins because they did not compete against the real champions. Such an asterix it will be.
