The girls basketball team at Lowell's Collegiate Charter School recently forfeited a match, a decision driven by in-game injuries to three players, one of which surfaced through an incident with the opposing team's player, a tall individual who identifies as female.

The premature end to the Feb. 8 contest against KIPP Academy was strategized by coach Kevin Ortins, who had to manage his diminishing lineup, keeping in mind a playoff game scheduled just four days later. In the roster of the opposing team, KIPP Academy, was a player biologically male, but identifying female, who was implicated in an incident that caused an injury on the court.

The Collegiate Charter School of Lowell released a statement highlighting the injuries of three of their players during the match. However, it was emphasized that the team went into the game informed about their opponent's lineup, as the two teams had faced off earlier in the year without any issues. Taking into consideration the physical safety of the players, Coach Ortins made the executive decision to forfeit the match, a choice also motivated by the concern for their ability to participate in the upcoming playoffs.

In an official communiqué after the match, the school asserted the precarious situation that led to their withdrawal from the game. They pointed out the trepidation of the unaffected players who expressed concerns about similar injuries potentially barring them from participating in the playoffs. Additionally, the school's statement reiterated its commitment and values in promoting both inclusivity and the security of all pupils involved.
