Wrestling Scholar Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Just came upon an interesting article about the Kansas City Arch Dioscese not allowing the boys form local Catholic schools to wrestle a girl. No matter what side of the fence you're on, it's sad to see some kids having to forfeit in the state tournament series just because they're wrestling a girl. I'm pretty sure this is just a local interpretation, but have you heard of this anywhere else. http://www.kctv5.com/story/21192136/catholic-boy-wrestlers-may-have-to-forfeit-matches-against-girls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastMode#31 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 That is interesting Scholar. I know of several guys from (Pope John) Roncalli High School that have wrestled girls over the years...never heard any official statements from the Archdiocese of Indianapolis on the issue though.

hummels Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Not from the Arch Dioscese, but CYO does not allow girls to wrestle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmak Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 last summer a pheonix catholic high school baseball team forfeited the championship game due to the same reason. The other team had a girl and since they would not bench her, they forfeited. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/05/10/phoenix-school-forfeits-arizona-title-game-rather-than-face-girl-opponent/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fire77 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Shows where their minds are, in the gutter. Maybe they should check around the other Catholic diocese's to be consitant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrestling Scholar Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 Shows where their minds are, in the gutter. Maybe they should check around the other Catholic diocese's to be consitant. The other Catholic Dioscese in the state aren't on board. They were talking about the Wichita Diocese, which has some Catholic schools wrestling under its flag in the same state tournament but is not subject to the same rules. I think the Bishop just came up with the rules a few weeks ago, so these kids didn't have any foresight on this. This is something that would be nice to know before you went to the school.
