A lot of girls do in Georgia and other states.
Some school districts believe they're up to the challenge.
But some don't want this to happen. Statesboro High School Junior, Carla Bessie, is fighting for a try-out next fall. The Georgia legislature passed a law in their 2000 session called the Gender Equity in Sports Act. It says if a school offers a sport, like football, to only on gender, members of the excluded gender must be allowed to try out for the team offered unless the sport involved is a contact sport. The law goes on to say it's up to the school district to decide whether girls can join a boys team or vice versa.
