Who made the varsity squad, and who got cut, isn't the zenith of high school athletics controversy anymore.
Instead, it's a difficult question: should boys be allowed to play on girls' sports teams? And vice versa?
The latest controversial installment comes out of Yonkers High School. Jenson Daniels, the only male to play on the school's otherwise all-female volleyball team, has been cut from the squad.
But it has more to do with gender than athleticism.
The 17-year-old senior was told by state officials he couldn't play this season; he performed too well on the physical exam and was deemed too strong, according to reports by CBS News.
Yonkers High School has no boys volleyball team. And while Jenson is off the floor for the time being, he's battling in court to regain his spot on the squad.
Earlier this year, Patch readers sounded off on the converse—a girl playing second base on a boys' baseball team.
Patch wants to know: should mixed-gender sports be allowed in high schools if there's no other solution? Or does it upset the game? Tell us in the comments.
