Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS)
Don’t follow. Asking if just the Freedom families is a relevant as it goes to what the complaint could argue. It’s only the Freedom families that could claim defamation, not any of the already at Hayfield players. And now with that Fairfax Times posted actual filings, don’t need to speculate any more as clear what’s being argued and presented. |
From Fairfax Times, the DM damages suit asking for $1 million for defamation, emotional distress. |
Fcps is now fighting against Robinson, who did not cheat |
They were caught cheating. FCPS should be ashamed of itself and apologizing to Hayfield's opponents. |
| So is the injunction asking the court to stop all the playoff games? |
LMAO!!!! |
Isn’t that the definition of the word. An order to stop something. |
Fairfax Times also posted the court filings for both cases: https://bloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com/fairfaxtimes.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/b/eb/beba1156-a2a4-11ef-a852-2ffc2fa97295/673623f0f3f44.pdf.pdf |
It actually looks like they are requesting an injunction against the ban, not the games. Which would mean the ban couldn't be enforced while there was a civil trial, which would definitely boot Robinson out and change who everyone is playing in regionals. |

Some interesting details in the filing.
There is a dad claiming he didn't transfer his kids for athletic reasons. He had a son who played at freedom HS for Overton and another son who played at a different public PWC HS. Last April, he tranferred both sons from their respective, different high schools and enrolled them both at Hayfield. What an odd thing to do! |
| Also it reads like VHSL was unimpressed with FCPS's "400 hours" of residency verification. They seemed to really do a half-arsed job, and didn't verify a large portion of the transfers at all. |
Then I hope the lowest seeded playoff team is studying the Hayfield tapes to prepare. |
Who sends their sons to two different public high schools, then pulls them both out of their respective high schools in APRIL and transfers them to a completely different school system? Totally not making decisions based on academics thats for sure. |
| I disagree with her politics but that Fairfax Times reporter is a real reporter who gets the dirt. |
Someone who moved? I’m a PWC parent, and it’s not at all unusual for kids in the same family to go to different high schools here. I’d actually say that at least half the families I know do. So if the family was living in pwc, then a parent got a job transfer to fairfax and they wanted to live closer to the new job, it makes perfect sense. |
