So maybe it does not happen in your neck of the woods, but we have a few girls that you might have to watch out for. BTW, the girl I am talking about is Candace Parker of Naperville Central High School, right in my back yard.

Been coaching for about 15 years. Did boys the first seven and girls the past eight. I remember reading about Candace Parker and telling my own group of HS girls about it. I've been impressed with the gains made the last few decades in women's ball, but jumping ability is still one of the major chasms between boys and girls ball.
Would have been cool to see that dunk live. Can only imagine everyone's response that was there to see it (even if it was a small crowd typical in girls HS ball).
