Arlisha Boykins is trending for all the wrong reasons after the 22-year-old former assistant coach on the Churchland JV girls basketball team in Portsmouth thought she could get away with impersonating a 13-year-old player that played for the Truckers.
The actual player was out of town at a club basketball tournament, parents of the girl told WAVY TV 10 Sports Director Craig Loper.
More in the report reveals that the JV head coach, along with the head coach of the varsity team, has been fired.

A spokesperson for Churchland told TMZ school officials were not present for the away game and were not made aware of Boykins’ participation in the game until the following Monday.
The 13-year-old’s father spoke about the situation, stating that he was “shocked” the coach would do such a thing.
The players on the team, along with parents, chose to opt out of the remainder of the season.
