A Massachusetts high school girls’ basketball team was forced to forfeit its game after a transgender player on the opposing team injured three players.
The Collegiate Charter School of Lowell Girls’ Basketball team dropped out of their February 8 game against KIPP Massachusetts after one of KIPP’s players, who is a biological male, injured three of their athletes.
Collegiate Charter School officials said the team decided to forfeit because the other players feared getting injured and not being able to compete in the playoffs that were a few days later.
‘The bench was already depleted going into the game with the 12-player roster having four players unable to play,’ said Collegiate Charter School spokesperson Casey Crane.
‘When the coach saw three more go down in the first half leaving him with five players, he made the call to end the game early. The upcoming Charter School playoffs were looming, and he needed a healthy and robust bench in four days.’
