Hayfield

Yea you know it all. I can't wait to see your response on Friday.
My response is I am surprised. I can't really say anything pro or con about the judge's decision until I find out more about what was presented and how he explained his ruling. I stand behind EVERYTHING I have said in this thread as supported by facts and historical precedent. Depending on what else happens after this it could be good or bad for high school sports and we shall see what transpires. Finally, I feel bad for the kids on all sides of this who were the casualties of adults improper actions and refusal to address things in a timely manner. This is a mess that could and should have been addressed long before getting to the doorstep of the playoffs.
 
OK, so it looks like the new schedule is out for 6C. First round to be played Thursday 11/21 and second round Tuesday 11/26 with finals likely happening on the 30th. “Whoever” (Hayfield) comes out of C will be at a disadvantage having played 3 games in the 2 weeks prior to the state semis
 
Crazy they’re allowed to play. The argument that it’s not fair to Hayfield kids is wrong. It’s not fair to the other teams who didn’t cheat.

While that may have been Hayfield's initial argument, the accounts from the hearing say the judge came prepared knowing the pleadings, facts and rules and the VHSL got hung out to dry because they did not follow their own rules. That is on the VHSL and their lawyers, regardless of whether Hayfield/FCPS broke rules on their own part. What's not fair is adults not doing the jobs they are paid to do and the kids suffering the consequences and that is on BOTH sides.

Agree with everything until the end. Not feeling sorry for known cheaters. You are spot on that the VHSL needs to enforce the rules. The same thing that was happening at Freedom followed to Hayfield. FCPS should be ashamed for allowing it go on.
