she knew it was the boys time, therefore she broke the rules, and she should not get the trophy.
I had to look to see who posted what you said as I thought a liberal had come on here, posting crap.

, therefore she broke the rules

What rule did she break?

She didn’t break any rules. “To afford them the chance to be a part of a team, we also allow them to play with the boys teams in the fall, where their score can only count toward the team total." Evidently there either aren’t enough girl golfers in this HS district to field a girls’ team in the Fall or the school district’s budget doesn’t allow for it.

Evidently Emily Nash wasn’t told ahead of time that she wasn’t eligible for the individual prize but she is the not the one making a big deal out of it.

"I wasn't aware until after my round that if I won, I wouldn't be able to get the title or the trophy," Nash told the Telegram in Worcester, Mass. "So I was definitely disappointed, but I understand that there are rules in place. I don't think people expected for this to happen, so they didn't really know how to react to it. None of us are mad at the MIAA or anything like that, but I was definitely a little bit disappointed."

But IMO if she was good enough to play on the boy’s team and contribute to their team score while playing from the same tees as the boys, and competing fair and square and besting them all, I say she should get the trophy.
