Are we living in a bubble on this forum?

“ While the Hayfield situation is perhaps the biggest black eye for Virginia’s largest school district in years, school board members in general — even those critical of her performance on this specific issue — appear to remain supportive of Reid’s overall leadership.”

Where is there any evidence to support this? Even Hayfield/Freedom sycophants want her to resign.

Because. If your biggest scandal is a football product in an area that can careless about high school football, heck even College football. Then you are really doing that bad of a job? (kanye shrug)

I am amazed by people who still think this is merely a football problem (I will assume that is what the above poster meant to write). It speaks volumes of them and their education.

It’s definitely more than a football program. This was about race. It’s a race problem.

They weren’t going to allow some Black guy to come into Fairfax County and build a powerhouse of a team that will dominate any other fcps school. Then he had nerve to attract talented players that were Black.

Madison is been representing Fairfax county in the Championship for years and that’s how the good white folks of Fairfax County want it. Try to change that and it’s going to be a problem.

Why so pessimistic? Coach O and Dr T are just getting started. They are in it for the long haul to “build a powerhouse.” What’s 2 years when Coach O is 100% committed to Hayfield and the community and will be here for 30 years handing out Thanksgiving dinners?

As a Hayfield staff member and an actual member of the Hayfield community, I hope this doesn’t happen. They have done so much damage to the true Hayfield community.

I’m just bidding my time waiting for Thompson and Overton to leave.

Oh, you guys are pivoting back to falsely claiming racism? That's cute.

Hasn’t been proven.

Change is difficult at the beginning, but gorgeous at the end.

Hence the use of the term "falsely." You have the reading comprehension skills of a Hayfraud transfer.

You don’t “attract” talent in HS athletics!!!! 🤦🏼‍♀️ Your team is made up from the students in your boundary for your school (yes I understand there are exceptions for AUTHORIZED attendance at schools outside your zoned school). This entire issue is because he frickin RECRUITED talented players to illegally transfer to Hayfield. This is NOT the NCAA or NFL or some elite club team. It’s HS athletics for gods sake.

You are basically trying to explain quantum physics to a rock. The transfers, their families, the coaches etc...will never acknowledge any wrongdoing. It is frankly fascinating.

What about Crowley? Will she be reinstated at Hayfield after being moved to Annandale for bringing up the issue to Thompson?

Agreed. Thompson and Overton getting fired and being virtually un-hirable sure will be gorgeous.

D. Overton isn’t going to stay at Hayfield and won’t be hired by any FCPS school. If he’s allowed to stay at HSS, he isn’t going to be putting together “all-star teams” (that’s hire the Freedom-Hayfield kids described it, not me) and he hasn’t shown that he’s capable of making the most of a “community-based” school. He won’t be able to recruit under the microscopic lens he’s earned in both PWCPS & now FCPS. I think the external investigation will lead to meaningful changes that conform to VHSL guidance. The boundary review is going to make it harder for HSS FB & BBB as it will eliminate HSS as an option for military families aboard Fort Belvoir, so they won’t even have access to those kids. He’ll be just like every other coach in the county, making the best unit from the local kids. That’s not his M.O. He’d leave on his own.

If they had anything on Overton, he would have been banned or disciplined. They don’t.

This is wishful thinking. Overton said at signing day we are just getting started. He’ll get his kids in district earlier - 7th grade - and nobody will be able to stick recruiting charges on him then.

Fort Belvoir kids are so bed to go to any school they want because they are military. It is a Virginia law.

Thanks for the post Coach O. We’ll make sure that residency checks are under a microscope for the entire Hayfield Secondary School pyramid. We appreciate you looking out for the real residents of the community!
