Hayfield

Well sometimes adults have to make appropriate/correct adult decisions. Kids are kids on both sides of this unfortunate aisle. They need to understand that life is not always roses/fair. Sometimes you have to sacrifice for the betterment of all. A lot of dead men lay in Arlington cemetery who were forced to fight for something they may or may not have believed in.

This situation could and should have been resolved weeks, if not months, ago if the Fairfax County Superintendent and VHSL Executive Director had properly and fully done their jobs. Instead they elevated what should have been a local situation into a major CF rising to the state level.

At some point the adults have to put this back in the hands of the kids. I understand the coaches frustrations but as a senior gearing up for my final playoff run our coach would've had to fight the whole team if he said we were forfeiting to make a stand.

I wouldn’t put this in the hands of a kid, kids didn’t start this.

Didn't mean let the kids actually decide. Just meant at this point let the kids play and let the adults deal with their mess off the field. Forfeiting now only hurts the kids of those programs. The coaches will have another year. . . The seniors won't.

If these same coaches want to block Hayfield out of the region next year I'm all for it. But don't punish your own team.

The timeliness of the stand, ironic given all that has transpired, matters, in my opinion.

I think the FCPS will take care of the situation in the off season. Probably will be staff reassignments at the least.
