Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS)
This is all speculation without names. |
Not only speculation, but some of the transfers that came to other schools this year where because of the hostile environment that was produced at Hayfield this year. Keep that in mind as well. |
| All goes back to one place and a subsection of unethical, cheating adults. |
Not VYS girls soccer. They generally aren't good unless playing rec+ "travel teams." You may be correct about boys sports. I can't speak to that in particular. |
That's not true. My son had never played before and coaches developed him. If he was at Hayfield this would have never happened. Had he played other sports before and been working out - yes - but he'd never played football before. |

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. You obviously don’t live in Vienna. I have a kid on the football team and these kids grew up together and they all know where the other kids live. If I hear a last name, I know the parents and the house. It’s like a small town. |

I am guessing that the PP is a PWC parent who has a kid who mysteriously ended up playing for Hayfield this fall. |

Yep, my kids team plays Madison every year and it has been almost all the same kids since 9th grade.
I know its hard for Hayfield carpetbaggers to wrap their head around the concept. |
Well good luck this weekend against Oscar Smith! |
100%. Player development (even into "great" players) happens at every step in the process and coaches play an integral role in it. Anyone who thinks otherwise just hasn't been around good coaching for the levels of sport they are talking about. |
Madison will represent FCPS well, as they always have. Good luck to both teams and thank you Madison for representing FCPS the right way! |

Madison will represent well, just as Hayfield, Lake Braddock or W&L would’ve. I would’ve liked to have seen the Hayfield vs Madison matchup though. Even if Madison beats Oscar Smith, it would’ve been much sweeter if they were able to beat Hayfield and Oscar Smith in the postseason. |
"Represent" in this context means more than being competitive on the field. It means having integrity, following the rules, competing on a level playing field, showing sportsmanship etc. That's what folks mean when they say "represent well". Under that definition, one of those 3 ("Hayfield, Lake Braddock or W&L") may not be like the others... |
