had this happen to me over 20 yrs ago. i was a head basketball coach and AD at a catholic high school.
had a girl and her parents approach me about their daughter playing on the boys team[no girls team at the school]. i had said no but they took it to the principle and headmaster.
we decided to give her a tryout and see if she was able to compete and physically handle the game, then i would consider it.
well she made the team but never really got to play. we took a lot of shit on the road to the point that it helped the boys accept her.
it was very tough times, needing two dressing rooms, having that time of the month and handling mood swings. she was a very pretty girl who ended up dating the captan of the team.
