Dr. Jayme Mashayekh graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Alabama in 2003 with a Bachelor’s of Science in Biology.

She is currently a member of the American Dental Association and Alabama Association of General Dentistry, as well as the Birmingham District Dental Society. One of her fondest memories is traveling to Ghana, Africa on a medical mission trip. There she provided care for villagers who would never receive medical attention otherwise.

A Facebook user named Jason Jordan posted the following message on Mashayekh’s page:

“I’ve coached both boys and girls in Hoover for years and can assure everybody that they don’t discriminate against girls.

This policy has been in place for years. Hats off to this team for winning the championship. It is unfortunate they couldn’t get the trophy but it sounds like Hoover is going to make it right by honoring the girls. The same thing happened to a boys team.

Since Hoover has limited gym space and high demand for practice facilities it makes it extremely difficult to accommodate everyone. Hoovers’ policy has always been that if you want to use a Hoover gym for OTM practice then you must participate in the rec league. Most coaches want to keep their OTM team together and play them in the rec league. Since this would be an unfair advantage because most of the OTM teams are comprised of the best players, they are required to play “up” by two grade levels. In this case, the girls are in 5th grade and there is no 7th grade girls rec league so they had to play against the 5th grade boys.

In the past and I’m sure here too, the league tells the coaches well in advance that you can sit out the tournament or you can play but you will not get a trophy. In the 15 plus years I have coached, I’ve never seen a team win it all playing up, so congratulations to these girls and the coaches for winning the championship. Trophy or no trophy, they are the champions.”

One of those rare times when the girls’ team beats all the boys’ teams, and they don’t get the trophy? Well, they can always transition to boys. /sarc

Girls can’t win at boy’s sports. Only boys can win at girls’ sports. Trannies sez so.
