I noticed an article in the Cynthiana Democrat where HCHS will have a new kicker, the first girl to play for the Thorobreds in school history. What is everyone's opinion on girls playing high school football?

I don't believe that there are very many high school girls that can compete, but if they want to give it a shot, more power to them.

If they are willing to put in the effort and sacrifice that is required and they really want to be a part of the team, I say go for it.

I remember a few years ago that Coal Grove, Ohio had a female kicker. She kicked their XP and kickoffs.

Any girl that wants to put in the time and effort to be on a football team, definitely should be allowed to play. In Illinois, I remember a school that played girls on the offensive line because there were not boys to play the position.

The question: should they be ALLOWED...is yes. THe question SHOULD they play....no.

The best player should get the position...be it male or female.

Why don't you just have an all girls football team. You have girls basketball and girls soccer. Personnally I don't know why any girl would want to go up against those smelly boys.

Have at it...

The question: should they be ALLOWED...is yes. THe question SHOULD they play....no.

 

agree

Bellevue has 2 girls I think

I bet there are some girls who would give the 1A and 2A boys a run for their money.

I did vote yes but want to add that guys should be able to play a girls sport if that sport is not offered to the guys.

I think Alaska has state championship play for girls high school flag football. Kentucky could do the same thing if there was enough interest.

The question: should they be ALLOWED...is yes. THe question SHOULD they play....no.

 

Agreed.

Okay the "Give the 1A or 2A boys a run for their money" is an odd statement. There have girls play in the 1A over the years in Northern Ky. and never has one been even remotely close to giving anybody a "run for their money." No problem with the girls playing but lets not slight 1A athletes. If a girl is that good then she could play with anybody.
