Girls' basketball game abandoned over male player

A Massachusetts high school girls' basketball team was forced to forfeit its game after a transgender player on the opposing team injured three players.

The Collegiate Charter School of Lowell Girls' Basketball team dropped out of their February 8 game against KIPP Massachusetts after one of KIPP's players, who is a biological male, injured three of their athletes.

Collegiate Charter School officials said the team decided to forfeit because the other players feared getting injured and not being able to compete in the playoffs that were a few days later.

'The bench was already depleted going into the game with the 12-player roster having four players unable to play,' said Collegiate Charter School spokesperson Casey Crane.

'When the coach saw three more go down in the first half leaving him with five players, he made the call to end the game early. The upcoming Charter School playoffs were looming, and he needed a healthy and robust bench in four days.'

Collegiate Charter left the game just after 16 minutes of play, with KIPP leading 31-14. However, the final score now, because of the forfeit, will be 10-0.

Shocking video from the game shows the taller, bulkier transgender player ripping the ball from another players arms, forcing her to fall.

The Collegiate Charter player is seen struggling to move and writhing in pain.

The KIPP's player that is a biological male who identifies as a female is more than 6 feet tall and has facial hair, a source told Fox News Digital.

The Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association said a player cannot be excluded from a team based on gender identity.
