Part 2/9:
Alyssa McPherson, a senior volleyball player, expressed disappointment that her final season is marred by controversy. She acknowledged the bravery of peers boycotting games against teams with transgender athletes, even if it means missing matches herself. "It's sad to know that goes my senior season," she lamented, emphasizing her desire to play college volleyball and feeling robbed of that opportunity.
When asked whether her concerns centered on fairness, safety, or privacy, Alyssa cited all three. She insisted that as female athletes, they should compete only in female categories, stating, "We didn't ask to be in a coed team." She praised prior generations of girls, like Peyton McNab and Riley Gaines, for speaking out and supporting their cause.
