Sisters are best tennis players on boys' team-- boys on girls' teams any time soon?

Story here. Congratulations to them! Now had the sexes been reversed, would boys have been allowed to play on the girls' tennis team? Excerpt:
'The championship was a "repeat" of sorts. The sisters won the girls' AA doubles state championship last year without dropping a set the entire season. When they couldn't find enough players to field a team this year, they had a choice – play no matches until the sectional tournaments and then play singles only, or join the boys team and play all year.
"I wasn't going to leave her hanging," Karli said.
The result? Karli was the top seed on the boys team and went 22-0 on the season. Tanya was the second seed and went 20-2, losing twice to the same opponent. Thanks to their nearly automatic two points, the team went 19-3 on the year.'

why not?
why can't boys who aren't quite good enough to be on the boys team, be on the girls team? Sounds like a double standard to me?
