Whistles' Anonymous Meeting #1: The Battle of the Sexes

[M&M Guy]

I know we're talking generalities here, but I do think the girls play at a "lower" level due to starting later in life. Therefore, they have a tendancy to be a little more fundementally sound to make up for the skill difference. However, I have seen a few girl's H.S. teams that could easily beat several boy's teams I've seen this season.

Another thing I've noticed (once again, in general), boys get mad while girls get even. For example, if you get some chippy play in a boys game, the players will stare at each other, growl a little, say "Your momma!", and it's over. With girls, there may be a wayward elbow or hard screen, but the retaliation may not happen until two quarters later. I've found I have to be a little more aware of that.
