What started as a story in the Fairfax County Times is about to go national. Freedom (Woodbridge) coach went to Hayfield, and surprise, Hayfield got 31 football transfers. Somehow, FCPS blessed the whole thing. VHSL didn't, and issued a 2-year playoff ban. Now there are court cases. But hey, winning is the most important thing! Who cares how/why you do it.
