Most students at Hylton attend boys’ sports games over girls’ games. The differences in intensity and excitement of the boys’ games are more appealing to students.
    
    “I like the boy’s basketball games because they dunk during their games, and the girls don’t,” said sophomore Devin Davenport.

    
    Some students try to persuade their friends into attending the girl’s games, but the number of people attending doesn’t compare with the boy’s games. One way to get higher attendance at girl’s games can be to advertise in a variety of ways.

    
    “I think that if they offer free tickets, more halftime activities, or maybe famous people attending, then more people might go to the games,” said senior Eric Frazier.

    
    It’s unfair that more people talk about the boys rather than the girls. The girls’ team has stand-out players, yet it is the boys who are always published in the local newspaper and posted in the school lobby.

    
    “More people go to the boys’ games because it’s a faster paced game, their participation level is high, and they have a higher competitive nature,” said P.E. teacher Mike Payne.

   
     If more students attended the girl’s games, then they might have a better season by winning more games. The girls would see other students cheering for them which would make them play harder.

   
     Students assume that just because they’re girls, they automatically are not as good as the boys.

   
     Some people think that girls should be allowed to play on the same team as the boys. Others believe boys are more aggressive, and it would be too dangerous for girls to be team members.         

   
     “I think that girls should be allowed to play with boys because it doesn’t matter if they’re a girl; it matters if they’re good enough to play with the boys,” said sophomore Bria Beaucheman.

    
    When both the boys and girls play on Fridays, it becomes hard for some students to decide which game to attend. Usually the teams are scheduled to play at different schools, so there would be no way for students to go to both games.

    
    Some students think that the boy’s teams in all sports are better than their female counterparts, but other students think differently.

    
    “I think that the girl’s soccer team outshines the boy’s soccer team,” said sophomore Keiona Morris.

    
    The bottom line is that the girls deserve to get just as much attention as the boys get.
