It wasn’t until late January/early February that several teams from the 6th grade division started traveling down to Kentucky to play their scheduled games, that it became apparent that the Next Level team was, in fact, a girls team. Several complaints from coaches and teams were filed because of this deception.

At that point we allowed the team to finish the regular season schedule, but would move them into a girls’ tourney at year end.

This is a direct quote from the Southwestern Ohio Basketball website.

They allowed the girls to play until the end of the season in the boy’s category, so your take on it is incorrect.
