You think someone who had kids lie about being homeless is "def doing things right in the community"?
God, that is depressing. Your values are completely out of whack.
Do you have proof that he had or made kids lie? If not then stop the slander and defamation
"Slander" is through spoken word. I assume you meant "libel"?
Thank you but I’m sure you have spoken it as well, but point remains the same
It is pretty sad that you think that you've made a point at any time in any of your comments.
This diatribe you think you are having is quite comical in itself.
Pure projection.

You know what, I don't. And you know what else, claiming to be homeless for personal gain, which is the case in this situation, is a crime. So you are right: Lock the FreeField kids up too as one has to assume they came up with the idea on their own.
Also, where did you get your JD from?

This is barely comprehensible.
What is "louie luggage"??
You may have no problem with it, but the facts are that recruiting and bad sportsmanship are against VHSL rules. If coaches don't want to submit to the authority of VHSL, they are free to work at a non-public school.
Submit? You have list your everlasting last mind. It’s ok I would not potentially expect you to. 🚩🚩🚩
Yet another post by a FreeField supporter that needs to come with the warning label "This is barely comprehensible."

Dear FCPS Community,
I am writing to address the continued — and troubling — misinformation being shared regarding this high school football season, and more specifically about the Hayfield Hawks football team. I also want to share with you our plan moving forward regarding this situation.
Let me begin by saying that all of our coaches, our school leaders, our community, and the Virginia High School League (VHSL) share a commitment to the success of our student athletes. We want our students to have passion for their sport and to play every game with integrity and sportsmanship above all else.
The VHSL is an important organization that has the tremendous responsibility of overseeing high school sports and other competitions across the Commonwealth. We appreciate the work they do, but in this situation, we share the frustration that many of our staff and families are feeling.
In August of this year, VHSL deemed eligible every player who has played this season on the Hayfield Hawks football team. Two months later, the VHSL declared the entire team ineligible for postseason play without any specific evidence of recruiting or other violations. Coaches, athletes, parents, and fans are frustrated by the circumstances that their teams are in now, because of the ambiguities within the VHSL’s rules and policies.
Last week, these inconsistencies were confirmed by the Fairfax County Circuit Court judge who, after a nearly two-hour hearing, ruled that Hayfield football could play in the postseason and that VHSL had violated its own rules by imposing a two-year ban. FCPS and Hayfield Secondary School are not parties to this litigation, but we will comply with the court ruling and allow Hayfield football to play in the postseason.
Last night, at their request, I met with coaches and principals whose school communities have been most directly impacted by this situation. During this productive meeting, we focused on our common goal to keep our student athletes at the center of any next steps. I have been clear that we will not find ourselves in this situation again.
To that end, and to minimize the potential of future questions or concerns, and to restore public trust, I have outlined the next steps we will be taking as a Division to ensure that our standards for student-athlete eligibility are clear and aligned moving forward. These steps include:
A comprehensive and independent external investigation and review of all student athlete transfers and eligibility practices across all sports and in all of our high schools.
A review and revision, where necessary, to FCPS athletic protocols and procedures. Led by the Office of Student Activities and Athletics programs, and in partnership with coaches and administrators, this will include a divisionwide review of current practices in evaluating student athlete transfers both inside and outside of the Division.
Alongside our Executive Director of Student Activities and Athletics, I will be hosting two Community Conversations, one for our schools in Class 6 Region C and one for our schools in Class 6 Region D, regarding our athletic regulations and practices. We’ll be sharing more information about those meetings soon and hope you will attend.
We also stand ready to work with the VHSL to improve their policies and processes on student-athlete eligibility. It is vital that we collaborate with everyone involved to ensure we are preparing for the evolution of the student-athlete experience that we are seeing in our country. As we navigate uncharted waters ahead in youth athletics, we must anchor our practices in clear rules and accountability systems that apply to all regardless of circumstances. Access to excellence and opportunity — that is the American dream.
Warmest Regards,
Dr. Michelle C. Reid

She’s right. They banned Hayfield without any specific proof of violation. It was "I’m white and I say Hayfield can’t play”. They probably didn’t expect Hayfield’s parents to have the resources to hire an attorney and fight.
1. Do we have proof that all 24 transfers live within Hayfield's boundaries? Answer: No.
2. Do we know for a fact that at least nine were deemed ineligible? Answer: Yes.
3. Do we have Hayfield football parents on the record noting that the only reason they transferred was for athletic purposes? Answer: Yes.
So, in short, we have several "specific proof of violation." By the way, learn basic English. Hayfield parents denying facts and trying to justify their cheating is beyond sad. They're unfit to raise children.
1. However many they verified met the satisfaction of FCPS - Not a Hayfield problem
2. Not any of the 9 deemed ineligible have touched the field so they are just getting an education, because they can’t play
3. I think ppl want to see hear that proof vs hearsay of the allegation. Not saying it didn’t happen but ppl don’t wish to be told, they wish to see for themselves.
You stay taking pot shots at people don’t you
Nice to see you got off your knees and away from Overton long enough to get over to your keyboard. To address your "points":
1. I will assume that "You stay taking pot shots at people don’t you," roughly translated to intelligible English, means something along the lines of "You enjoy insulting people, don't you?" If that is the case...no, not at all. I enjoy stating facts. If you find them to be insulting it is likely because they are true and about you. The truth hurts sometimes, deal with it.
2. Also, to this: "I think ppl want to see hear that proof vs hearsay of the allegation." Are you blind and deaf? There were YouTube videos by your fellow knuckle-dragging FreeField parents (since deleted) bragging about it. You have FreeField parents, on the record admitting their kids transferred solely for athletic purposes. Talk to fellow Freefield parent Carleton Hughes, father of a FreeField defensive back who stated: "Whether it was one transfer or 30, kids and parents could transfer and play for who they want to play for. That's it. You can't stop that. If you follow college sports, with the transfer portal, kids transfer all the time." A parent literally stated out loud that his kid transferred for athletics purposes. And yet you and the rest of the slack-jawed FreeField parents pretend like you did it for noble purposes while encouraging your kids to pretend to be homeless to expedite (look it up) the process.
3. Your rebuttal to my first statement of fact, that it isn't a Hayfield problem is...demonstrably false. It is a Hayfield problem and that you don't realize that speaks volumes about you.
Every time you and the rest of the FreeField parents/Overton supporters post you prove me right: your kids are being done a disservice simply by being in your orbit. Take the L and go home. You are pathetic.
Now I think Overton is waiting for you. Might want to get back on your knees.

"This is barely comprehensible" should be the warning message pinned to the top of every post made by an Overton supporter.

She is calling for an independent investigation. That already happened---done by VHSL--and she refused to accept their findings and decision.
VHSL did an investigation after FCPS already did one too and the VHSL’s wasn’t even as thorough. They looked FCPS findings and reshaped to violate Hayfield to appease the Hayfield haters.
Cite your source. I will wait.
Also, your English teachers failed you.

Completely agree. I want Reid fired for all the other damage and hope this fiasco leads to her firing. But you're saying nothing will change until the next election and even then nothing will change because people blindly vote Democrat in Fairfax County.
The ignorance of the MAGA lot (which overlaps considerably with the Overton lot if you get to know them) is startling...
Why don't you start by telling me where I called anyone a racist? And then why don't you explain why you are such a feeble, insecure cuck that you hide behind the anonymous option that this site allows?

FCPS looked at 14 residences for students who registered at Hatfield. VHSL looked at 24 students in connection with recruiting violations and spirit of game violations across 2 different schools. That FCPS found no issues does not change what VHSL found.
Also the Reid "investigation" had the investigators informing the players when they would be coming to their homes to confirm residency. This has been widely reported and confirmed.

I can't see why. Nobody is doing that here when someone brings up legitimate concerns.
Seriously? Maybe read some of the comment from the Hayfield parents.
Kind of went over your head, didn't it?
No, it didn't. I saw it was a sarcastic response. But too many FreeField parents would have treated it as the truth.

Yup! And silly so called liberals fell for it hook line and sinker
God...the ignorance and cowardice of the MAGA lot is comical. They share so much in common with Overton yet knock those actually trying to bring him to justice (spoiler alert, they're mostly liberals you ignorant cucks).
