Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS)

Hayfield plays some really small teams, such as Lewis.
If the new Hayfield team is stacked with D1 level players from out of state and Freedom High School, at what point does it become a safety issue for several of the teams they play, beyond the normal riks of football? Some kid is going to get unnecessarily hurt because of this. |
Many public schools play private schools during their non-conference schedule. And not just in football. It happens in baseball & basketball. It’s nothing new. I don’t know about girls sports. |
It is not safe for a stacked Hayfield team to play Annandale, Lewis, Edison etc. |
| I don't think the Max Preprs roster is accurate. It lists 200 players! |
Agreed. Would they even have the uniforms/equipment for 200 players? |
Is the top half with no numbers the freshman and JV rosters? The numbers start around 2/3 down the list. |
Even if it includes freshmen and JV, I'd be surprised if they had uniforms and equipment for 200, especially if they weren't a strong program in the past. Last year, a different high school out of PWC (Gainesville) had a lot of players show up for the summer workouts/practice, and they had to have tryouts because they didn't have enough equipment for over 130. https://www.insidenova.com/sports/turnout-remains-high-for-gainesvilles-football-program/article_5b3b3604-2bd7-11ee-b392-33e1442d6a99.html From what I understand, most schools don't-only power houses like Mater Dei (Santa Ana, CA) will have huge numbers like that. |

There are at least 12 players, maybe more, suspiciously listed on both rosters. No way did 12 families pick up and move cross county lines into Hayfield boundary.
Including two kids who played Varsity football as 8th graders last year. Does anyone else find that incredibly bizarre and dangerous? |
| Why has it taken fcps months to investigate this with no resolution when anyone can compare the rosters and see the allegations are true? |
| The hubris of this coach is kind of amazing. |
In the end, it is not about the winning or even football scholarships. When cheating becomes a school sanctioned policy, and when that cheating carries a safety risk to other teams, then there are real issues that will hopefully be addressed. |
| He got himself a full time job at fcps in addition to the paid coach gig, apparently stole tens of thousands off a pricate fundraising platform, and got a rative a full time job too. |
| The meeting was tonight. Has anyone heard the outcome? |
| What happened during the parent meeting tonight? |
| Wow! Not a darn thing. They’re all cleared. https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2024/08/27/hayfield-football-investigation/ |
