Hayfield

I've been watching from a far (relocating)... Read a couple intriguing articles from today in Fairfax.

6 FCPS Coaches signed a letter with plans to forfeit their games vs Hayfield. Not sure if they'll be playoff games... Or can they forfeit games already played? Or both?

FCPS School board has fired the law firm who represented the families that filed the injunction vs the VHSL..

Same school board is preparing to conduct their own investigation. Sounds like things are getting very serious.... Too bad they waited so long to get involved!

Few Surprises in Class 2, Thoughts and Predictions

I have missed very few Graham home games in 50 years. Virginia High had a hurricane and plenty of adversity to deal with too. I'm not going to make excuses for the G-men. They need to show up and play ball. The penalties and sloppy play will not cut it. They have seemed a little better the past couple of games with that, but the quality of competition wasn't exactly stellar. Graham has a ton of potential and it's hard to argue against an 11-0 record, but they are their own worst enemy sometimes.

They had power when we got there. Bluefield didnt.

I keep seeing you use words in all CAPS

I appreciate your input, but I also watched the film and was at the game. During the game
, I saw two instances where time was added, and the officials clearly explained their decisions to both the coaches and the press box. You've mentioned SIX additional times where this occurred, and while I understand you're emphasizing your point by using ALL CAPS, I haven't seen any evidence to back that up. I really tried to spot the other six instances, but I couldn’t find them, nor could I identify an extra 30 seconds. If you have specific proof to share, I’d be happy to take another look.
Thanks!

Ill put it in this way, it helps when you can see the scoreboard in the video. Its easy to see it then.

Like I said, I have said my peace now, believe me if you want, if not its all good.

Hayfield back in the playoffs...maybe not

And extended her contract. The entire school board is women. Does anyone really think they understand football or even care. They have an agenda to push. Thank God someone taped the conversation or they would have fired the South Coach over a false narrative. This simply is damage control and not a true investigation.
At some point you have to ask if there are any adults in the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors who will step in and hold FCPS and its leadership accountable. The power of the purse would seem to give them at least a little influence and say. The damage is done and regaining control appears questionable at best. It is astounding they gave the superintendent a raise and contract extension by unanimous vote when they might arguably have been able to fire for cause.

OMG, she actually thinks this? If so, IMO she is only digging her own grave (removal from FCPS) even deeper. This entire issue is NOT about racism; it is about rules, fairness, morals, and ethics.
She dug her hole with the pathetic response back in August and the FCPS School Board, aside from the 3 who voted for an independent investigation, should be shown the door along with her. Instead, the idiots voted to give her a raise.

No, she got mad a coach pointed out teachers up there got bupkis for a pay raise while she took home a large increase. Like most upper-level management, they have zero ability to show proof of their worth being commiserate with their pay so she's pivoting to racism to try and go on the offensive.

Rich people haaaaaaaaaaate when you question their paychecks because they know they can't stand on solid ground. Superintendents clearing half a mil in some places while their teachers need two jobs to survive, it's BS.

Riverheads at Strasburg

One thing is for sure......this is going to be our coldest game of the year, so bundle up. We have been quite lucky so far with weather but the daytime high Friday is supposed to be in the upper 40s which of course doesn't sound bad. But it is going to be quite windy and you can imagine how that will feel after dark. They are even calling for a chance of light snow Thursday night but it will be over by Friday morning with no more expected.

That wind may affect the passing game of both teams, but since both prefer to run the ball, that might not be much of a factor.
Game Probably be over by 8:00. Strasburg had a 21 play drive @ CC. Over a length of a whole quarter. I’m sure RH can/has done the same thing.
