A guys v. girls sports debate

[cognito20]

This is kind of in the spirit of a debate going on over in the Sklansky forum. I've been debating this one with some guys I work with, and we're split pretty closely on it. Theoretical basketball game: the Division I NCAA women's national champions versus a good but not great boy's high school team. By good but not great, I would say, oh, a 16-5 Class B New York State high school team (classes in NY are AA (largest), A, B, C and D) that wins its league, maybe its section, and goes out early in the state Class B playoffs. Who would win, and why? I'm thinking the NCAA women's champions in a pretty close game, as long as the high school team's success is due more to solid team play and not the presence of a Division I-bound star or two on the roster who could physically overwhelm the women. If you think the women would win, what caliber of boys' high school team would you think would be required to beat them, and if you think the boys would win, do you think an average WNBA team could take them out? Discuss.
