Hayfield 75 Edison 7

[mrhonda]

I wonder if this victory was enjoyable for coach Overton and his team? How fun was it for Edison? How much fun will it be for Fairfax, knowing they’ll probably be playing a playoff game in name only?

Hayfield will probably go on and win a state title. But rest assured it’ll be tainted…having an asterisk. The Hayfield AD going on a “sabbatical” says it all.

But I hope all involved with Hayfield enjoy the state title. Most everyone knows how you got it, not earned it.

A few years ago St. Frances Academy in Baltimore took the same route. They were eventually kicked out of their conference. Of course they are a private school.

Hayfield is public, so that probably won’t happen. But their future opponents can elect not to play them. Either that or deliberately slow the game down.

Either way, Hayfield’s state title will be tainted, as well as their program, as long as those who were responsible for creating this mess remain at the school and/or the school district.

Nothing’s proven? Perception is everything and right now Hayfield doesn’t have a good look.

So would the state title be tainted if he stayed at Freedom with this team? Because this the Freedom team with a transfer Qb and WR. Would this same outrage be happening if DO never fell out with Freedom’s administration and stayed there?

yes because the did the same with the kids at Freedom and what got him in hot water was continuing to do the same at his current school. The question I would like to ask is why does controversy follow him wherever he goes...the problem cant always be everyone else. Where theres smoke there is fire.

Shhhhhh......we can't interject "good, solid, sound reasoning" into this discussion. Everyone wants to talk about how great he his as a coach...cool....then coach the hand you're dealt, homegrown kids. If the results are the same, we'll build that bronze statue and anoint him as the greatest ever.
The timeline SPELLS it out. Denial doesn't make it go away. I hope they feel good about ringing that bell....all they're doing is creating more animosity for the complete disregard for the integrity, sportsmanship and responsibility that he should be teaching these young student athletes. RING THAT BELL....THIS YEAR. I don't know where he's going to be next year. Maybe Warwick? And bring his hired hands...beat down the P by 50? I wonder if the Phoebus faithful would still be OK with his "style"?
