He was caught doing the exact same thing Potomac and had to pay several fines.

After Reid's "investigation" nearly 10 of Overton's illegal recruits were deemed ineligible based on residency, confirming someone had them lie and that the investigation was a sham.

A number of Overton's transfers broke the law by claiming they were homeless to get enrolled even faster.

Overton lied about his qualifications and certifications to get the security job and was still hired for the head of security role at Hayfield. And, even after word got out that he hadn't taken a required 60 hour course to get in compliance, the school's administration still ignored the issue for over 90 days.

Overton hired a coach who offered drugs to a minor and he faced no disciplinary action for such a gross oversight.

Overton threatened a mother online.

Nearly $30K from a "fundraiser" Overton promoted is unaccounted for.

The company that Overton hired for the above-mentioned "fundraiser" is run by his friend and isn't registered to actually collect funds in VA.

Overton's sham nonprofit, Playmakers Elite Athletic Training, had its status automatically terminated by the Commonwealth in 2023 and is in violation of the law for continuing to operate for at least another year after that. Virginia Attorney General’s Office or a local Commonwealth Attorney’s office should and could prosecute at any time.

Overton hasn't filed 990s for his sham nonprofit ever.

Overton has proudly compared himself to Bobby Knight (this might be the only time in his life he demonstrated a shed of self-awareness by comparing himself to a Trumper who was verbally and physically abusive to others).

Overton has consistently thrown his own players under the bus. Most recently he disputed the timing of a DeMatha transfer into Hayfield and directly contradicted the transfer's (truthful) accounting of the timeline which initially put his eligibility in doubt.

Overton tried requiring that team fees be paid only in cash or via cash app and had to be made directly to him or the "team mom," in violation of state law and FCPS regulations.

Overton allowed his staff to publicly humiliate a returning member of the Hayfield team, with the staffer ripping the player's belongings ripped out of his locker in front of team members while berating him verbally with abusive language that was racial and sexual in nature.

I’d say you know a lot about this Overton guy to not be Overton. Wonder how close you are to the situation

Parents have been parents and some have/can be obnoxious, especially when cheering for their son or daughter. Most have congratulated all schools when they have had very successful championship programs/teams. That has been the community we live in.

NO ONE has ever done what Hayfield did this year for football in any sport, ever, at an FCPS public school. To encourage the transfer from one county to another of 24 student athletes to participate in one sport in the same school year is disgusting. To have moved the Director of Student Services to another school when that person began to see what was going on is evidence enough. There is SO much shady business that has gone on and been reported about, it’s no longer funny.

Whatever the temperature of the community is currently, it is the direct result of the actions of those 24 families/players and the coach, DSA and principal at Hayfield High School. They have earned all the criticism with this issue and should man up and look at themselves before defaming others with BS race comments meant to deflect from the real issue that they all where involved in this cheating scandal.They will never admit to it and will continue to deflect away from their lack of moral character.

There will be an * next this team for many years to come and they have earned it. Good luck in the playoffs to all.

Those kids were leaving Freedom regardless. They weren’t staying. They followed the rules of the VHSL and FCPS by moving into the Hayfield zone.

Didn't one of them use an address that didn't exist? Weren't there other shennanigans with the addresses?

That was alleged and not proven.

No, it was. One player gave his street address as “Old Hayfield Road,” a street that doesn’t exist in the boundary. Again, sit this one out. Stop blindly defending a cheater. I know you love being on your knees for the guy, but this is getting pitiful.

Sometimes when people move, they could say their address wrong.

Gawd. You guys are so funny.

A third team Overton screwed over in just one season.

To be fair, he has screwed over 9 of the 10 opponents he faced this season, as well as his own program and Freedom's. But hey, he has to live vicariously through kids...

Um I don’t think so

played HS won states himself
Played minor league won multiple titles
Played some Pro football
Opened up a successful youth program for football
Has a kid playing college football
Has family that played multiple years of Pro football
Put multiple kids in college athletics

I would think it’s safe to say football is what he does and knows. Can’t get that far bar cheating

"Can’t get that far bar cheating"

Coach Overton, have someone proofread your posts before hitting submit you pathetic cheater.

I wonder if you would be man enough to say that to his face, or would you like to continue to hide behind the keyboard. Your probably one of those that ish but have 911 on speed dial

Are you threatening violence? If you are, you are a degenerate loser and everything I'd expect of a cheater. I didn't post the above and I am not a man but I wouldn't tolerate your bs for two seconds.

The degenerate loser is the one who complains with false allegations to every white supremacist willing to listen, until they find some who will attempt to take down a successful football team that has a Black coach and majority of Black players because they are dominating in Northern Virginia.

Hey dummy, the only one who cares about the coach and players being black you since you keep bringing it up. Cheaters come in all colors.

Why aren’t you exposing the white cheaters?

Are there other coaches bringing 30 something players to their programs that are zoned for the school? If so by all means bring them up. Lets go! Just like the OP said cheaters come in all colors so lets expose them...

Shameful Hayfield is allowed to play.

[Anonymous]

I think some if not a lot if not all of the Hayfield transfers came there to play football. Some of them may have been recruited, some actually may have an address where they don't actually reside.

My problem here is FCPS did not find anything and VHSL didn't do a thorough investigation so they are relying on 'this looks bad' to hold them accountable. VHSL neglected to actually act on their feelings and instead tried to take to the easy way out and prosecute Hayfield with sneak tactics (the timing) and rules they have in place, that they can't explain what they actually mean. (Spirit of the Game and Proselytizing Rule) The banning and the appeals were all heard by people and committee's appointed by VHSL. That was always going to end the way it did.

Those sneak tactics backfired on VHSL big time once the Hayfield parents decided to be heard by a neutral party, the courts. You can't bring your feelings into a court room and more so you have to provide facts to substantiate your claims.

I watched the judge ask the VHSL lawyer point blank question about their process and how it applied to Hayfield and the lawyer could not answer appropriately.

Snippets from court that hurt VHSL:
- VHSL lawyer says they aren't worried about the Spirit of the Game violation. The judge replies, well why are we here and why was this presented.
- Judge asked the VHSL lawyer, what does Proselytizing Rule mean. VHSL lawyer responds, 'That's a good question'.
- Judge tells the VHSL lawyer you've accused Hayfield of recruiting, I see nothing in your bylaws that defines recruiting. So what and how did they violate this?
- Judge tells the VHSL lawyer that you mentioned a track violation that Hayfield self reported. What does that have to do with the football team and why didn't you suspend the track team?
- Judge says to VHSL lawyer, you mentioned 31 students transferred from Freedom High School and 14 of them transferred to Hayfield. Where are the other 17? Have they been investigated? Are the schools they attending allowed to participate in the playoffs? The VHSL laywer responds (something to the effect), we have no idea.
- Lastly and to me most detrimental to VHSL case. VHSL claims FCPS did not do enough in their investigation. Judge ask the lawyer, where is the proof you did any investigation at all. Have you interviewed parents? Have you interviewed students? Did you do residency checks? All to which the answer was NO. The Judge replied, so what did you do because FCPS has provided documentation that they've actually did all these things.
- (this is what I think showed VHSL hand) VHSL told the judge, that Hayfield parents filing this emergency injunction at the last minute leaves them in a position to disrupt their playoffs. The judge replies, VHSL you decided to notify them with one week left in the season and they followed your appeals process to which they were officially disqualified on the last day of the regular season. The judge ripped this apart basically stating VHSL chose this path of timing.

In my opinion, Overton seems like he's a great coach that has parents willing to make the sacrifice to continue to have their children coached by him. This doesn't seem like a situation where the kids even needed to be recruited by him. However I do 100% believe they more than likely cut corners and covered their tracks to get kids enrolled at Hayfield. In America's court, when you accused somebody of something as VHSL did, you actually have to have proof, which VHSL neglected to provide or in this case or even put forth effort. They relied strictly on back door meetings to punish Hayfield and it backfired.

I said all this to say, Hayfield may not be clean, but the governing body VHSL severely dropped the ball on this. Additionally, I don't even know why they would attend another court date on Dec 4th. Their argument is 'Spirit of the Game' and ' Proselytizing' neither of which they can prove. There is no way Hayfield lawyer allows them to introduce any residency claims, any collusion and all the other stuff I've read on this forum that people think will be introduced. Simply put, none of that stuff applies to the claims at which VHSL decided to punish Hayfield. Remember they were not punished for having ineligible players, VHSL actually cleared them, so that's not a claim VHSL can now use.

NO ONE has ever done what Hayfield did this year for football in any sport, ever, at an FCPS public school. To encourage the transfer from one county to another of 24 student athletes to participate in one sport in the same school year is disgusting. To have moved the Director of Student Services to another school when that person began to see what was going on is evidence enough. There is SO much shady business that has gone on and been reported about, it’s no longer funny.

Whatever the temperature of the community is currently, it is the direct result of the actions of those 24 families/players and the coach, DSA and principal at Hayfield High School. They have earned all the criticism with this issue and should man up and look at themselves before defaming others with BS race comments meant to deflect from the real issue that they all where involved in this cheating scandal.They will never admit to it and will continue to deflect away from their lack of moral character.

There will be an * next this team for many years to come and they have earned it. Good luck in the playoffs to all.

VERY well said ^^^^THIS 1000 X THIS ^^^^

In 2021 Freedom Principal Inez Bryant directed Overton to not dress a player because he was ineligible. Overton ignored him, twice. Overton then claimed it was an "honest mistake" (as if that clown knows what honesty is).

Investigations against Overton while he was at Freedom recommended that he face disciplinary action for other violations including use of county property for his own financial gain.

He was caught doing the exact same thing Potomac and had to pay several fines.

After Reid's "investigation" nearly 10 of Overton's illegal recruits were deemed ineligible based on residency, confirming someone had them lie and that the investigation was a sham.

A number of Overton's transfers broke the law by claiming they were homeless to get enrolled even faster.

Overton lied about his qualifications and certifications to get the security job and was still hired for the head of security role at Hayfield. And, even after word got out that he hadn't taken a required 60 hour course to get in compliance, the school's administration still ignored the issue for over 90 days.

Overton hired a coach who offered drugs to a minor and he faced no disciplinary action for such a gross oversight.

Overton threatened a mother online.

Nearly $30K from a "fundraiser" Overton promoted is unaccounted for.

The company that Overton hired for the above-mentioned "fundraiser" is run by his friend and isn't registered to actually collect funds in VA.

Overton's sham nonprofit, Playmakers Elite Athletic Training, had its status automatically terminated by the Commonwealth in 2023 and is in violation of the law for continuing to operate for at least another year after that. Virginia Attorney General’s Office or a local Commonwealth Attorney’s office should and could prosecute at any time.

Overton hasn't filed 990s for his sham nonprofit ever.

Overton has proudly compared himself to Bobby Knight (this might be the only time in his life he demonstrated a shed of self-awareness by comparing himself to a Trumper who was verbally and physically abusive to others).

Overton has consistently thrown his own players under the bus. Most recently he disputed the timing of a DeMatha transfer into Hayfield and directly contradicted the transfer's (truthful) accounting of the timeline which initially put his eligibility in doubt.

Overton tried requiring that team fees be paid only in cash or via cash app and had to be made directly to him or the "team mom," in violation of state law and FCPS regulations.

Overton allowed his staff to publicly humiliate a returning member of the Hayfield team, with the staffer ripping the player's belongings ripped out of his locker in front of team members while berating him verbally with abusive language that was racial and sexual in nature.

I’d say you know a lot about this Overton guy to not be Overton. Wonder how close you are to the situation

NP here.
A lot of this is public (or at least has been widely shared).

Oh so it’s a lot of rumors and third party information.

OP here...Cite which one of the verifiable things that I wrote is a rumor. They've all been verified by multiple sources, in many cases PWPS, FCPS, the Commonwealth of VA., reputable news sources (I could go on for days). You Overton backers are pathetic.

Cite the source of each allegation

Got it, when you can't prove me wrong you sidestep. Overton supporters are beyod pathetic.

You are the one making allegations, swearing they are facts, but have no sources. Interesting.

No, I am restating facts, as presented by Fairfax Times, Inside NOVA and other reputable sources. And you, like all the other low-intelligence Overton supporters are feebly grasping at straws, deflecting, and making specious (look it up) claims. Standard playbook of someone who has no legs to stand on. Next up I assume you will falsely claim I am racist. God you guys are pathetic.
