So, the boys sports are making sacrifices to training and facilities in order to accomidate the girls because the board didn't take this into consideration to begin with...awesome. Punish others because of your lack of forethought. It's great for the girls; but, had the board not screwed up to begin with, no one would be giving up any space, or shouldn't be anyway.

This is high school not D 1 schoo,l oh it is Hartselle.

Trey maybe you should have stayed in school a little longer so perhaps you could put together a complete sentence.

Score Boys 99.9884% - Girls .0116%.

Based on the figures in this article. 50,000 square feet and a whopping 580 feet to the girls softball team. That's only .0116% of the total floor space. I guess we still know how the school system rates it's sports program. I believe the girls got the bad end of the deal again as usual.

Let The Boys And Girls Swap, Let The Boys Take The Smaller One, And The Girls Take The Larger One, Then See How Fast Everything Change

"Softball has 580 square feet that includes storage, a coach’s office, shower facilities, toilets and a media room." I would have to assume that with all this in 580 sq ft, that this leaves room for one girl at a time to use the locker room.
