[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t know much about  SSSAS,
But no to Flint Hill!

I have seen the student body at a few football and basketball games.  Kids were rude, yelling and swearing. No administration there to deal with it.  Even had onetheir kids throw a bottle at an opposing payer during a basketball game. Got escorted out by security.

It doesn’t represent all of the kids there, but  when we play against other schools like Landon, GDS, Maret, Bullis, we see nothing like the horrible Flint Hill behavior of their student bodies that show up at the games.

I have two kids at Flint Hill and we go to a lot of basketball games.  Never saw any bad sportsmanship by the FH players or any bad behavior by the fans.

Idk what pp is talking about.  Maybe they are talking about the school in Flint, Michigan because FH in Oakton is phenomenal.  Great academics and good kids who get along well with each other.[/quote]

You missed the game against Potomac where a FH student threw a full water bottle in the court during active play during the game.  Security had to escort him out.

Fans and parents were cursing at Potomac players and many parents were sitting next to FH  parents.

Oh, after the game FH refused to shake hands with the Potomac players.  And then the team and students who came to the game stormed the court after FH won. Stomped on the Potomac logo and then ran over to the other side  the bleachers and taunted the Potomac students who were just standing at the bleachers watching this behavior. None of them stepped on court. Security had to force the FH kids off the court. Potomac had administrators there while it seemed FH did not.

So yeah, you missed that nice display of sportsmanship by FH…

OH, so your kids are at Potomac.  That explains it all.

Don’t know about any kid throwing a water bottle, but the basketball coaches would not allow any player to refuse to shake hands.

The schools are rivals so I can understand the student body getting excited over a win, but I hate when parents try to bash another school out of jealousy.  As long as good sportsmanship is shown and the game is played safe.  Winning or losing is okay.  Flint Hill competes with integrity.[/quote]
Yep my kids go to Potomac and I think you’d be mortified if you had seen the FH behavior at a football game, too. The FH parents we were standing near apologized and were even embarrassed [/quote]
