An 18 year old is an adult. Old enough to vote, old enough to be called a man or woman.

No one said they were adults, just that they are men and women... which they are.

Two sexes - male and female.

Then they should be identified as such; male and female, not men and women.

A man, by definition is an adult male (per Merriam Webster).

A woman, by definition is an adult female (per Merriam Webster).

How do you qualify a 13 or 14 year old as adult? Or even a 15, 16 or 17 year old?

Varsity Males Team

Varsity Females Team.

Now, we need a qualifier because just "male" or "female" sounds like adults.

Varsity Young Females Team

Varsity Young Males Team

Huh?

Don't fix it if it ain't broken.

EXACTLY. High school kids are GIRLS and BOYS, not men and women.

Contrare, you did. You said kids ARE men and women, and by definition, men and women are adults.
