From Item Live….Gender identity in play on KIPP basketball team

KIPP officials refused to confirm the player’s gender identification. If the player identifies as female, participation on the girls team would seem to be supported by the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association, the governing body for high school athletics in the Commonwealth.

According to multiple sources, KIPP has a male player on its girls basketball roster, despite the school offering a boys program. The player is reported to be more than 6 feet tall with facial hair.

Collegiate Charter left after 16 minutes of play with KIPP leading, 31-14. The game goes into the books as a 10-0 forfeit win for KIPP.

Collegiate Academy released the statement below…

Kipp Academy’s MaxPreps page has no roster listings for any player. The school has not released a statement on the situation. The MIAA has made no statement on the situation that took place.
