<p>The Cherokee County Board of Education last month <a href="https://4.files.edl.io/6dc2/10/18/22/172550-b5054622-b488-4314-84f6-1fdf91564d37.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">voted</a> 5-1 to forfeit all games against Highlands High School over &#8220;safety concerns.&#8221; A trans player on the Highlands team injured a Hiwassee Dam High player&#8217;s head and neck with a spike to the face, resulting in concussion-like symptoms and ongoing vision problems, <a href="https://www.edfirstnc.org/post/female-hs-volleyball-player-seriously-injured-by-alleged-trans-competitor-in-north-carolina" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to Education First Alliance.</p>

<p>&#8220;The County will not participate in any volleyball games, varsity or junior varsity, against Highlands due to safety concerns,&#8221; the board <a href="https://4.files.edl.io/6dc2/10/18/22/172550-b5054622-b488-4314-84f6-1fdf91564d37.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">decided</a>.</p>

<p>Vice chair Jeff Martin noted the &#8220;competitive advantage&#8221; at play, which he suggested was trumped by &#8220;safety concerns.&#8221;</p>
<p>“The competitive advantage issue certainly has to come up in any scenario with that type of transgender conversion, per se,” he said. “I can tell you that the board wasn’t searching out this kind of thing. It was brought to our attention based on safety concerns.&#8221;</p>
<p>“The biggest thing for us, especially after seeing the video of the injury, we felt very strongly that it was a safety concern,” board member Jeff Tatham said. “I think most of the board members also felt like there’s a competitive advantage issue.</p>

<p>Cherokee County School Board member Arnold Mathews noted that the North Carolina High School Athletic Association (NCHSAA) said, &#8220;It is the understanding of the NCHSAA that a local school system governs its athletic programs and at any time can determine for whatever reason that a school or team cannot play another school or team,&#8221; ABC 13 <a href="https://wlos.com/news/local/after-player-injury-cherokee-co-schools-forfeit-all-volleyball-games-against-1-school" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;While we would prefer that schools or teams play all games it schedules, that latitude does exist,&#8221; the NCHSAA added.</p>
