Actually, that specific school is run by a religious group that refused to leave the 18th century (as opposed to returning to it). They split off rather than accept Vatican reforms.
Honestly I can't get all that worked up about it. It's a private school and they have the right to do what they want. They didn't raise a fuss or try to get the girl DQed, they just forfited. Girl's team gets a first round bye out of the deal, not bad.

Bc they forfeited their game based on their tightly held beliefs, you are judging them and their views as being 'archiac and stupid'? How are you and your 'views' anymore accepting or not-stupid than theres?

Change is good and necessary for progress.

A TON of high school sports have mixed teams because the high school doesn't offer the sport for girls or vice versa. I work for a school district and I help out the AD with many tasks... while I would never claim to be an expert or anything close to that on the topic, i've come to discover the situation is pretty common.

There were females that played on both our Lacrosse team, and our Football team. We've competed against schools that have had women on their Hockey Team (more than a few), Baseball and another girl was on the basketball team but she didn't make the trip to our school so I never got to see her play.
All the schools are located in the subs of Cinnci.

My high school soccer team was coed. We were a Class C school that didn't have enough people to field two soccer teams (nor did any other team in our league). So we always had a few girls on the team, and opponents' teams occasionally had girls, too.

I somewhat agree, but I think we also need to remember that the disparity in size and strength b/w boys and girls in high school is not as large as it would be at the college level. For the large schools it might be more dangerous, but for small schools, I doubt it really matters. Either way, it should be up to herself and her parents if she would be able to play those sports. And the coaching staff if there are cuts and such. Definitely shouldn't be up to her opponents. They are denying her the chance to compete in an extracurricular activity just because she is a girl.

"Actually, that specific school is run by a religious group that refused to leave the 18th century (as opposed to returning to it). They split off rather than accept Vatican reforms."
This is an important point. When I saw that the school involved was named "Our Lady of Sorrows, I immediately wondered if the Society of St. Pius the Tenth (SSPX) was in charge, and that turned out to be the case. The SSPX is a group that is in schism from the Catholic Church over a number of issues. I just thought it was important to put this out there before people start going "Ahh, stupid Catholics," etc., as this group is not representative of the Catholic Church in any way.
