No...They must be in the 9th grade. 7th and 8th girls going againist 12th grade girls would not be a pretty site. I realize some 7th and 8th girls would compete fine but the vast majority of the girls are not physically big enough to compete and would get hurt.
Maybe Pendleton can do the JV Girls for the 10th down and place the 11th and 12th graders on the boys team until they get enough girls to do both. I know I was very impressed by a female on the boys team that play a Defensive back. She gave the Chapin boys all they could handle, which made me smile on the inside. I only wished the chapin parents hadn't been so abusive towards her just because she was a girl.
