In my school we had boys the same age who had a foot of height and 80 pounds of weight difference between them. There are better ways to divide competition other than gender.

Yep. I was 6'4" by the time I was a junior in school and I had a large physical advantage is sports. But size isn't the only advantage either. Skills and co-ordination with team members matter more.
