Twelve-Year-Old Girl Kicked Off Boys' Basketball Team For Being Too Good


Twelve-Year-Old Girl Kicked Off Boys' Basketball Team For Being Too Good: "Oh man, those boys on that basketball team are done. Jaime Nared is a 12-year-old, 6-foot, 1-inch basketball player from outside Portland, OR. She's just finished sixth grade and she's now playing with a girls high school traveling team because she's too good to play with girls her own age. Perhaps the next Candace Parker. Or better. But being a prodigy has its costs, namely, where should Nared be playing? The last time she played against girls her own age, her team won 90-7. Her coach described the game as 'like having Shaq on the floor.' Oregon State has already offered her a scholarship."
