An Arizona high school boys soccer team Mesa Faith Christian forfeited a match against an opponent Foothills Academy College Prep school because there were two girls on the team.

The Fox news reported, the boys soccer team wouldn’t play with Foothills Academy College Prep school because midfielders Collette Hocking  and Alyssa were on the team. Mesa Faith Christian decided to forfeit the game against the Scottsdale high school instead of playing the game.

Dick Buckingham, the administrative leader of Mesa Faith Christian, said that, "I know it appears to fly in the face of what everyone is wanting to promote today, and that is equality."  "It is based on a religious perspective that God created guys and girls differently. The difference physically, there is a strength advantage that men have over women. We want to teach our men that honor of ladies is just not in sports. We struggle how to teach that if we're allowing them to play against young ladies in a competitive game.”

"We're the ones harmed because we're giving up a game. We think it's better to do that than give a mixed message."

Mesa Faith Christian already played a game in the Canyon Athletic Association (CAA) against a team that had a girl on it. "I decided what to do in the future. I understand the league rules allow it. That's fine. We're trying to be consistent in our training of our young men,” he added.

"They would not play without their team,” Rains said. “They felt the girls earned the right to be on the team. And they won't play without them."
