The Hayfield principal is the one that pulled them and made the announcement, but it’s obvious that he was directed to do so. Reid keeps mentioning HR and other high ranking FCPS officials. If you can read between the lines you can tell that the Hayfield principal was pressured to withdraw the team. But with all the bad publicity, I think it was the right thing to do. Everyone knows Hayfield was the best team in Virginia’s 6A division. https://www.insidenova.com/headlines/who-knew-what-and-when-fairfax-co-superintendent-explains-why-she-axed-hayfield-from-football/article_2308e0d0-b18a-11ef-aac8-8fd24ab0382e.html https://www.insidenova.com/sports/prince_william/fairfax-co-schools-superintendent-reid-apologizes-for-the-handling-of-hayfield-football-scandal/article_d144072a-b3eb-11ef-aef9-2b243ac0c406.html |
At least six were actually. Also, it is pretty sad that you spent your NYE on this comment board. |
I know you likely meant this as an insult but it is sad. Unfortunately, many people are alone during holidays. |
What’s your source? That’s not what Overton said. |
There is no source because there were no kids determined not eligible. There some kids they gave a hard time, but they ended up getting their paperwork straight and were able to play. |
Exactly. Your comment is 100% correct. And you don't even realize why it is correct. So sad. |
I strongly agree---EXCEPT the last sentence. That should read. "Everyone knows that the Hayfield Usurpers (recently re-named for a very rare breed of hawk) would have unfairly beaten the crap out of any team in Virginia's 6A division." |
Multiple kids transferred who were never allowed to play. Some kids transferred and were not allowed to play at first but eventually were allowed to play. Regardless, NONE of the kids who were deemed illegally recruited and thus caused the football team to be banned from playoffs should be allowed to participate in any Hayfield winter or spring sports. |
I feel bad for the real Hayfield students who lost their spots on the basketball teams to the football transfers. Basketball teams have really small rosters. An extra 6-10 kids showing up who shouldn't be there deprives real Hayfield students of the opportunity to participate. |
Do you feel bad for the real Westfield, Woodson, or South Lakes students who lost their spots to transfers as well? |
Oh, dear, did VHSL find those schools also violated their proselytizing regulations? I missed Asra's article on that. |
I don't understand why any of the illicit transfer students are allowed to participate in any VHSL activiti. |
Suggestion: if you pupil place you should not be allowed to play sports. This has been happening for years. |
That's overly harsh. They could audit, however, to make sure that the pupil placed kids continue to meet the criteria for pupil placement. |
Wow...you rely upon what Overton said for your "facts"? That's so sad. |
