Idaho girl creates controversy by joining boys' lacrosse team

In Idaho, Sara Maras attends Borah High and is on the cheerleading squad. But her being a cheerleader isn't all that there is to Sara. She is very aggressive when it comes to sports. At her old school Sara played lacrosse and they played by the boys' rules, which was fine for her since there was more contact involved. When she moved to her new school she signed up to try out for the girls' lacrosse team and found it to be boring and not for her. She contacted the boys' coach and joined their team. The boys were very accepting of Sara and not verbalized any discomfort about her being on the team. The discomfort came from the parents. The board voted 18-4 that Sara was not to play on the team, her petition failed. But her coach sat the team down and asked the team if they would be willing to forfeit the season just to have Sara be apart of their team. All of the boys were in favor of keeping Sara.
