Trouble at Hayfield


You decide.
The question was rhetorical. ;-)

Trouble at Hayfield

General172011, why don’t you consider participating in pick-em that Mike Salem handles. It’s a lot of fun.

If the investigation is over and they found “ZERO” wrongdoing, then the investigation is tainted. You mean to tell me that 15+ players and families all decided to up and move from the Freedom High School area, and all just happened to chose to live in the Hayfield High School area? Wow, what a coincidence. And every single new address checks out legitimately? That is utterly amazing.
I am not from the area so no direct ties to any of this. That being said, did the investigation really resolve anything or did it just create more? A few things to ask:
(1) What were the steps and results in the internal investigation? Why was an external investigation delayed until the completion of the internal review?
(2) What were the criteria used in selecting the outside firm to perform an external investigation?
(3)Who were the 19 witnesses interviewed? When and how were the home visits conducted? Given that allegations point to 15 or more kids, how many of the 19 witnesses were those kids and/or their parents/guardians?

Just a little food for thought. I am sure those closer to the situation will have more.

Any Bull Run predictions?

1. Strasburg-Return a good nucleus of last years team. Have been really good on JV for several years now. Conrad is a gamechanger in himself. Plus you add Coates back to the mix. They will be a very good football team.

2. Clarke-Return a good core group from last yea. Carson Chinn, Sipe and that Lineman are the real deal. Line play will be the deciding factor on how good they are "but" they do a great job of reloading up front, they will be quick off the ball, be physical, and be tough.

3. Central-New Coach, losing 3 all-state kids. I think they will take a minor step back. Similar to Clarke their success depends on their line play as well. I see them climbing to 1 or 2 but not falling below 3.

4/5/6 are a toss-up. Madison County and Luray both return quite a bit from last years teams. Both had a decent JV season last year. Time will tell if they can shake things up with the top of the Bull Run. Page will be big and gritty. You never know what you're going to get when the Panthers come to town.

Shenandoah District Outlook

As many have already said, it is the big four this year. I think Fort, Staunton, and Draft return the most varsity talent from last season but:

1. Riverheads
2. Draft
3. Fort
4. Staunton
5. Wilson
6. Gap. They will be better then last year. More players and more depth. Tough district.
7. Waynesboro

Will not surprise me for any of the top 4 to win it. Wilson and Waynesboro QB's give them a shot to make some upsets also. Should be fun!
