The gender specific writing surprised me because, as only a basketball official, dealing with NFHS rules for the past twenty-seven years, I'm used to he/she, himself/herself, etc. I wonder when the NFHS went to gender neutral wording, or has it been like that all along?

Also, didn't a female baseball player get into some spring training games, I'm not sure if it was major, or minor leagues, several years ago?
