Here is how to transfer to any high school in the area

[Anonymous]

John Champe had a basketball coach leave after last years season. That guy brought a kid in from DC and last year had a guy who lives in Alexandria play on the team. The kid from Alexandria transferred to a WCAC school, but that guy was a big time cheater.
This stuff happens all the time

Was the coach Walt Webb? He is big time sketchy.

I think a kid here or there slips through the enforcement (of which, there is apparently very little). But the idiocy and brazenness of trying to cheat with half a football team was just foolish.

he’s an extreme cheater. Some of these other coaches are more subtle about it.

No no no. The Champe guy is far worse than any coach that’s been mentioned in this thread.

Some of the kids legitimately moved into Hayfield boundary (6 of the 15 transfers). The other 9 did not move but claimed they were homeless, so FCPS could not check their residency? That would explain why FCPS would say they were all legitimately enrolled and refuse to answer any questions, while VHSL would say the 9 "homeless" players did not in fact bona fide move.

That's a logical explanation for the discrepancy.

If that’s the case, it’s kind of messed up that these kids can’t play because they are homeless.

They weren't homeless

He's awful but sorry, there is no way he talked 15 kids into transferring to Champe and then 9 couldn't play because he lied to them about the rules. So, he's a cheater but can't hold a candle to Overton (who is still somehow employed???)

Did WW get fired from Champe?

He would have got more if he could’ve convinced them to come out there and play for him. The guys just such scum that a lot of people won’t deal with him.
Not sure if he was fired or not, but probably the way things were going. The guy was using the school gym for his sons AAU and travel teams, doing group training sessions, etc, then pretending that any money he was making would be donated to the school. I’m sure the school saw a very low percentage of any money he made, if anything at all.

I have to wonder if the "team mom" (who was mentioned 10-20 pages ago in this thread) was collecting "dues" for the team so that they could use the $$$ to pay for a small apartment that 9 of the fake teammates could use as an address in the school zone.

Sounds like Hayfield coach/activities dir./principal were happy to turn a blind eye to the situation so long as they got good players, but VHSL asked more questions like "where does X actually sleep?" and "where do X's parents sleep at night?"

Pitiful.

Pretty sad that it took VHSL to step in.

We saw their team in the fall league last year, he was putting his elementary school twins into the JV games while he had high schoolers sitting on the bench. What a douchecanoe.

How. much did they collect? You would need a lot to rent an apartment for the school year!

OTOH, where did the money go?

I’m sure the coach didn’t recruit any kids he knew lived outside the zoned area. I do believe he probable had an idea that some kids could be living outside the school district, but that man already has enough on his plate trying to get his team ready to play at a high level and he isn’t making hardly any money. He doesn’t have time to be policing every players home address.
How many coaches even know where the kids on their team live? Let’s be realistic.
