What’s the Reason Behind Decision?
The reason behind this decision was reportedly linked to Kipp Academy having a transgender player on its roster, which resulted in multiple injuries during the physically intense game.
At the halfway point, Kipp Academy was leading with a score of 31-14. In accordance with the rules, the outcome will be recorded as a 10-0 win for Kipp Academy via forfeit.
Video Went Viral
The male student, reportedly exceeding a height of 6 feet and displaying visible facial hair, had been a consistent participant on the roster since the season’s commencement.
Despite being a familiar presence, a recent video clip circulating on social media has reignited the ongoing discussion surrounding the inclusion of transgender individuals in women’s sports. KIPP Academy, where the incident occurred, also boasts a boys’ basketball team.
Coach Decides to Prematurely Conclude the Match
According to the media reports, Collegiate Charter School of Lowell faced challenges with a depleted roster, as four players were already unable to participate in the game. When three additional female players suffered injuries, the coach ultimately decided to prematurely conclude the match.

“The team entered the game with a diminished bench, as four players from the 12-member roster were unavailable. In a turn of events during the first half, three more players were forced to leave the game, reducing the active players to just five. Faced with this situation, the coach decided to prematurely conclude the match”, as reported.
“Upon the occurrence of the third injury, the remaining five players expressed their apprehensions to the coach regarding the continuation of the game. Their concerns centered around the risk of sustaining injuries and jeopardizing their participation in the upcoming playoffs.”
It is noteworthy that, as of now, neither team’s coaches have publicly acknowledged the impact of a male student competing against an all-girls’ team as a contributing factor to the decision to forfeit.
Kyle Pelczar, the athletic director at Collegiate, attributed the choice to forfeit the game to Coach Kevin Ortins. Pelczar explained, “Coach Ortins believed that his players were consistently sustaining injuries throughout the entire game.”
Additionally, Pelczar mentioned that the girls’ team had a crucial playoff match scheduled for the upcoming Monday, prompting the coach’s decision to prevent further injuries and ensure the team’s readiness for the playoffs.
In contrast to previous years, young women now face the challenge of navigating the frustration that arises when males choose to participate in their sports, consequently asserting dominance.
