Nolasco would like to say whether Boykins was wearing a uniform, but he did say that JV players are typically between the ages of 13 and 15. Boykins cannot be reached by CNN for comment.
Nolasco said that Churchland administrators were not at the game and that the administration "quickly investigated and then contacted the Virginia High School League to share its findings."
Boykins has been sacked, along with the head varsity and JV girls basketball coaches. The varsity and JV teams at the high school attended a parent-player meeting.
"In the meeting, the players from both teams expressed they did not want to continue this season," Nolasco continued.

Billy Haun, the Virginia High School Organization's executive director, told that the league has been made aware of the incident.
Haun said:
“„When an adult commits to being a high school coach, it’s not just about coaching the game. They take on a lot of responsibility. Adults who fail to live up to those expectations, I’ll just put it bluntly, they fail students. We failed kids because we’ve got a group of young ladies who will now not be able to finish their season because of the behavior of some adults.
