Banned From Playing Basketball With the Boys

In a statement to ABC News, The Hoop said: "It stands by its decision to not change the rules of their spring league while in process."

Citing a rule that bars mixed-gender teams, a private basketball league in Oregon has banned Jaime Nared, 12 and already over 6 feet tall, from playing with the boys.

But being banned from playing with the boys won't squash Jaime's dream of playing with the pros some day.

Jaime said she wants to be the first female player in the NBA.
