Tournament officials disqualified fifth-grader Kymora Johnson's AAU team, the under-11 Charlottesville Cavs, from the National Travel Basketball Association (NTBA) tournament in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, on Saturday because Johnson is a girl -- an offense officials deemed heinous enough to end the team’s championship hopes. Johnson has played with the Charlottesville Cavs for years, and it was her third time participating at the NTBA tournament. But the organization disallowed girls from playing on men’s teams in the tournament this year after parents reportedly complained about girls playing on boy’s teams. NTBA president John Whitley told The Daily Progress that tournament officials waited until right before the semifinal game to disqualify the team because they did not realize Johnson was actually playing in the tournament until someone took a photo of Johnson on the court and complained to the organization.
