Yeah, I agree. I think the usual case is made just for girls playing on boys’ teams when there is no girls’ team in that sport. With more boys often playing sports, there may well be more choices among the boys’ teams.
But I just think it’s hard to do without someone somewhere thinking it’s unfair, so it probably just should be scratched. The old-fashioned ‘segregation’ is probably good enough for all but non-competitive intramural-type sports.

I think that is especially true when you consider why there are those kinds of sports in school to begin with: To give kids an outlet that keeps them from getting too up close and personal with each other.
Girls and boys playing together defeats the whole purpose of why there are school sports.
