I'm pretty sure that not only could the 5A state champs beat the BYU girls team, but the 5A state champs would probably win the WNBA. I was an average large school high school basketball player. I think I would have been a star in girls college basketball. I would have been stonger and taller than anyone at my position and just as quick. I don't think many would have a shooting advantage either.
Shooting? That's the only argument I've seen. But look at these stats for BYU. FT shooting 63%, opponents 71%. Three point shooting 33%, 32% opponents. Total FG% 43%, opponents 35%. If they shoot that like that with girls guarding them, what are they going to shoot with boys guarding them? |
P.S. the girls volleyball team challenged the boys at our school in a game of volleyball. This isn't California. The boys had next to no experience in vb and had no strategy or coaching. We still beat them.
