Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS)

Stalk the kids on Madison’s football team the same way you are Hayfield and see what you find. There is no large pool of athletic talent living inside the Madison boundaries. Kids are going to the school to play football.
Don’t know much about this Oscar Smith team Madison is about to face, but I’d bet my bottom dollar something would be found if they faced the same scrutiny Hayfield has faced. Knowing the coach at Oscar Smith you are probably right. He has gotten into trouble before and operates in a similar manner to Overton. Madison in the other hand has not been a transfer factory. These kids played together in Vienna youth, then freshman football at Madison, then Varsity football at Madison. They’ve been good the entire time and have had very little movement on their roster. The problem with your comparison is that Hayfield is in FCPS and should be following the rules FCPS HS, like Madison, are asked to follow. Oscar Smith is in a completely different district with different residency and school boundary regulations. Hayfield is not allowed to operate like schools outside of Fairfax county. That is where Overton miscalculated. This isn't PWC. |
Aziz developed players? lol smh. |
It's sad that people out there are still knocking Aziz. Guy did more with less. The same can never have been said true of the current Hayfield coaching staff. |
No knock on Aziz. It’s just that kids are developing into great players in high school. Players may be coached well, but player development is rarely what you get in high school. Coaches don’t have enough time for that. |

| Name one football player that starts for Madison that is or was a transfer. I’ll wait. |
Are you new here? Some kids may transfer to Madison, but the ones I know go there from outside the boundaries to play. Kids from all over the county go to Vienna to play for the Vienna youth football. Some of them enroll at Madison for high school. So I guess they transfer from outside the Madison pyramid. Idk if you call it transferring and no I’m not naming names. |

It’s not just Madison. Westfield, South County, and South Lakes are schools are all guilty with current students. |
Hi there. I coached D1 lacrosse and WCAC football and lacrosse as well for years. I've never met a decent coach who has said something along the lines of "player development is rarely what you get in high school. Coaches don’t have enough time for that." Good coaches do. Frankly, player development continues at the college level as well, at least with good coaches. |
The Elms at Kingstowne. That fake reporter lady interviewed a couple of the parents in the community news room when the news broke in August. Look for it on YouTube. Real Lady Monat something something. Another adult who is a super fan but not affiliated with the team in any way. |

Any one who has been involved with the Northern Virginia Youth Football Team knows that you aren’t. Vienna produces championship level teams at every weight class year after year after year. 90% of those youth players go onto Madison High School. They don’t have the D1 talent up and down the roster, but they have cohesion & discipline, and that is what makes Madison great - and that’s true in just about every “Vienna” youth sport (Lacrosse, basketball, wrestling, etc). That is the honest way to win in Northern Virginia. I hated when my kids played against Vienna - especially at Waters Field - but I admired what those parents and coaches were doing. |
