Isn’t this the same Overton that smashed Madison 48-14 in state finals. Regardless of whether you like it or not Overton is the best coach in NoVa. He’s ran thru pretty much everyone at some point either in playoffs with Freedom or even hayfield this year. |
To be honest, I agree with you here. It's not Fairfax's fault that their opponent removed themselves. That said, the football pundits will say that the worst seed automatically being in the final for the region is bad for sport. I can't imagine Fairfax wants to just back into the Final (sure they'll be happy to play) but they certainly will be like whew dodged a bullet. WSHS v. LB will be a good game, they usually are. That said, Bruins by 6 to play Fairfax on Friday (???), Bruins by 10 against the Lions. Be great if Spartans could get to the Final but don't be surprised if a lot of their magic rolled off last Friday against SoCo (it was a big big win for the program of course but games like that can sometimes be followed by let downs) |

Just saw a tweet from Fairfax principal saying they will be advancing to third region final in three years
So guess that’s that I’m still going with lake Braddock to win I retract my 10 point differential and saying now bruins by 7 |
Pretty much, but all type of haters got together and stopped him from winning states this year. Since he took the job in Fairfax County, the hate from coaches and parents at schools he’s been whipping on has been unprecedented. |
That’s b/c nobody likes a cheater, or at least don’t be stupid about it, and go completely overboard. Which begs the question, why not stay at Freedom and continue the dynasty? |
So unfair. The finals should be WSHS and LB So many kids screwed over by Hayfield and Dr. Reid. |
People act like people are not allowed to leave for better opportunities. A coaching job in Ffx is a lot better than a coaching job in PWC. Just calling it like it is |
When there is cheating to this extent, you stick w/the jurisdiction that looked the other way. It was incredibly stupid to go to fcps and try to open up a new shop w/31 transfers, and invite all that scrutiny. I can only assume there was some huge monetary incentive, which will be the next shoe to drop. And, people are not going to give until it’s all out in the open. |
Idk, from the outside it looks to be less about his coaching and more about being the most willing to disregard the rules to stack a team. If every other coach has to make the best team out of the kids zoned for their school, but one coach just collects the best players from all over.. his coaching is far less important. Kinda like saying the principal at TJ is the best principal because they have the best text scores. Disregarding the fact that being the best test takers in the first place is the reason they’re all there. |
He was handed a 90k/year full time job as security director at Hayfield. |
Well the semifinal will definitely be a good game tonight. I mean Fairfax isn't a pushover but either WSHS or LB should win against them Saturday. |
Why didn't he just stay at Freedom? Why move? |
| Looks like a close game between WSHS and LB so far. |
Any updates on the score? |
47-7 hardly close I kind of thought this could be a let down game for WSHS Beat soco for first time in 14 years last Friday Thought this one would be closer but it most certainly is not |
