High schools in Cherokee County, North Carolina, have canceled volleyball matches against one school after a transgender athlete (a boy living as a girl) injured another girl at a recent game.
The injury occurred last month when a Highlands High volleyball player made a spike and smashed a Hiwassee Dam High player in the forehead, causing severe head injuries.
“The Hiwassee Dam player, a biological girl, suffered severe head and neck injuries, resulting in long-term concussion symptoms, including vision problems. The girl has still not yet been cleared to play again by her primary care physician or a neurologist,” reported Education First Alliance.
The Cherokee County Board of Education then voted 5-1 to declare a “safety issue” and canceled all games against Highlands High after coach and Cherokee Board Member Joe Wood said he had “never seen a hit like this before.
“I’ll never put a child in a position to be seriously injured,” Wood said. “I think the odds (of injury) in these non-contact sports aren’t high. But in particular, in this meeting, a coach of 40 years said they’d never seen a hit like this. That was really what sealed the decision, at least on my part.”
Cherokee Vice Chair Jeff Martin said that the “board wasn’t searching out this kind of thing” and that it had been brought to their attention based on “safety concerns.”
Board member Jeff Tatham said the video of the injury also swayed the decision.
“The biggest thing for us, especially after seeing the video of the injury, we felt very strongly that it was a safety concern,” Tatham said. “I think most of the board members also felt like there’s a competitive advantage issue.

Is he allowed to shower with the girls too?
I hope the members of the school board that allowed this travesty to occur are sued into oblivion.
Maybe her Dad should put a Dress on and go beat the snot out of him
“all rules were followed”
Hmmm. I think whether that is true is going to depend on who is interpreting the wording of those rules.
Sexual freaks should be required to form their own leagues and stop their crap with normal people.
Neither the mentally ill boy, nor his parents made up the tranny allowance on the team rule.
I’m not on this kid’s side, merely stating what I think is correct from a legal/liability standpoint.
He should never have been allowed on the team.
“Neither the mentally ill boy, nor his parents made up the tranny allowance on the team rule.”
The fact is, I don’t think either of us actually know if there is any “tranny allowance” in the rules. They may have just reinterpreted the existing rules without changing them.
The team members need to unite and refuse to play against any fake women
Great idea.
Then she can graduate HS with her father in prison.
I agree. The lawyers already are lining up!
That male swimmer who goes by the name Lia Thomas, is nude in the locker room with all the girls. No one is supposed to object to this, because it would be transphobic to do so.
I think every boy who can’t make the varsity should put on a dress and play as a girl. Steal girls sports from the girls. Stupid, sure, but maybe then when girls scholarships all go to biological males maybe they will get the message to quit screwing with kids heads.
“*WARNING* I am not a lawyer, but I sometimes play one on FR.?
LOL I love you guys!!!
Well if the girl’s father keeps the dress on all through the trail at least he will spend time in a women’s jail.
I guess that’s something... :)
Women’s prison is full of ugly, fat, black chicks.
It’s not Cinemax at 0300 soft core...
They need to build a 'freak on freak' league to allow these folks to compete if they don't fall into any actual group because they 'define' themselves and pretend to be in a group.
Fine by me. They certainly don’t belong in the locker rooms or on the teams of their non-genetic sex.
Brietbart…”Injured another girl…” instead of “Injured a girl…”. Did you catch that? Shows you where Brietbart stands doesn’t it?
