<p>A girls high school basketball team in Vermont withdrew from the state&#8217;s playoff tournament last Tuesday because it refused to play against a team that had a biological male on its roster.</p>
<p>Valley News <a href="https://www.vnews.com/mid-vermont-christian-girls-basketball-withdraws-from-vpa-state-tournament-50054956">reported</a> that the No. 12 seed Mid Vermont Christian School girls basketball team forfeited their game against No. 5 seed Long Trail because the team did not believe it was fair to play against a transgender athlete.</p>
<p>“We believe playing against an opponent with a biological male jeopardizes the fairness of the game and the safety of our players,” MVCS head of school Vicky Fogg said in a statement. “Allowing biological males to participate in women’s sports sets a bad precedent for the future of women’s sports in general.”</p>
<p>Lauren Thomas, an assistant executive director for the Vermont Principals’ Association, confirmed to the local publication that the school had withdrawn from the tournament.</p>
<p>“I have received calls (from schools) asking for best practices and how to go forward knowing they were going to play a team with a transgender female on it,” Thomas said. “We just supported our stance and our best practices through our inclusivity statement.”</p>
<p>The school <a href="https://www.mvcs.info/about/mission-statement/">launched</a> in September 1987 with its mission to &#8220;glorify God by preparing students for college and for life through a program of academic excellence established in Biblical truth.&#8221;</p>
<p>The school says that despite its small size, its &#8220;sports teams have excelled wonderfully in the region with many winning seasons&#8221; and that it &#8220;continues to provide an academic program that significantly outperforms its public school counterparts in the state (based on SAT testing).&#8221;</p>
