An Indiana teen's family used throwing the state Athletic 1 Association a curve ball.


 


14-year-old Logen Young wants to try out for the boys' baseball team without any preconditions; A state rule says she can't, so her parents have filed a lawsuit 2.


 


It says that you cannot play when those culpable 3 sports for girls and then, and that we considered baseball was sort of our culpable sports.      


            


Bloomington South high school's athletic director says the lawsuit is unnecessary.   


 


There is a waiver that you can ask for to go over this rule and be else with who play baseball which they have done, that was just saying in the past.


 


The teen's attorney says the rule violates Logen's right to equal protection under the 14th amendment 4 and the title 9 law governing gender 5 equality in sports.


 


The fact is that if a boy wants to try out for baseball he doesn't have to apply for a waiver, he just goes to the try out whereas they are making girls apply for waivers.


 


The school supports Logen's desire to play baseball, and it is filing a waiver for her, Logen's parents want the rule thrown up the field.
