Remove Reid, if not resign your seat or face a recall. The football games give a great venue to start collecting signatures for recall petitions for board members. As VA has funny recall laws, the petition should accuse the specific board member of neglect of duty to protect the student athlete and follow rules and incompetence for re-upping Reid recently. 10% of those who voted in the last school board election for that seat are needed to sign.

I don't have time to read 186 pages, but it seems obvious that a team should not be allowed to flout the recruiting rules and still compete in playoffs. Is that the general consensus on DCUM, or are there genuine arguments to justify what Hayfield did?
Hoping that someone can catch me up on the facts without all the emotion that I am seeing in the last few pages.

The general consensus among reasonable adults is that Hayfield should not be allowed to participate. There are a handful of Hayfield parents--identifiable mostly via their poor grammar and syntax--who disagree.

While I appreciate the description provided, I would add there is an additional group not directly associated with Hayfield that generally feels there is nothing wrong with recruiting and bringing in 20+ transfers to any school and that it has been happening ‘everywhere else’ for decades.

It’s definitely been happening. It’s happened at other schools that are currently in the Virginia playoffs. Rarely does a coach need to bring em all in during the same year though, but thats because the coaches are already at the school.

Again, my point exactly! Haha, and “rarely does a coach need to bring em all in the same year”!! Do you want to rephrase that to “though a coach has never done that many in one year…”?

Won’t say it’s never been done in one year because there is another school that’s undefeated that just got a bunch of transfers this year and that school is also one of the favorites to win their division.

Not going to name the school just yet, but they are also in Northern Virginia. Probably wasn’t as many new football players as Hayfield, but there was a bunch.

Oh please. Prove it. The rosters are public. Show us all the players and where they played last year.

Tons of allegations against other schools in this thread and no one ever has a shred of evidence. Meanwhile everyone can see all the Hayfield transfers from all over the place.

Not gonna name them so you can try to f up some more kids season. I haven’t seen the school in talking about mentioned though.

This is what half of these posts are really about, under the guise of caring about HS football. 🙄
