I live in the neighborhood and used to attend Friday girls and/ or boys home games with my dad until I head about some of these things. Looks like someone finally brought up another big elephant in the room that was not previously addressed., only took three pages to get to it, the party most everyone knows about where coach and her assistant coach brother drank(covered by a koozie like that fooled the girls),the team was there, parents were there (I will verify this as I spoke to 2 personally so this is not false gossip. I also saw one of the LBB players at Noodles and asked her about this party and she said "I have been told not to talk about it so I'd rather not" WOWWwwser ) All drove home afterwards. This drinking at a LB sports affiliated party was brought up to AD who told concerned citizens who asked him that he had researched it and it was "handled". His official line is that things were exaggerated. ----drinking, driving, drinking driving, those two words should not go together EVER, no exaggeration to it !
Things were 'handled'REALLY? How so?I dont recall any coach suspensions at the very least! The sports participation handbook for Fairfax county sets forth strict policies for offenses. Be curious if there is even a letter of reprimand in the file which I doubt. If a student participating in a sport drinks they are at the very least suspended but if the coach drinks &drives it is ok. after all, she is perrrrrty . Coaches are of a legal age so it is ok? the AD pumped up the resume of his hand picked Vogues pick as stated in previous posts, he does not want to reprimand or research this, there is a vested interest in sweeping this all under the Fairfax cty/ LB good ol boy network rug. Great example setting. I think of it every time I drive up Burke Lake road and pass the tree that is a memorial to a young Lake Braddock girl whose life was cut short there , from apparently thinking this could never happen to her. Maybe she watched this behavior condoned somewhere as well....The crap that seems to REALLY go on at LB goes far beyond whether the 2 little freshmen with no basketball experience should be on the team, or if they have improved after starting out not knowing how to run a three on three drill in a varsity practice, or if the team can get a couple more wins than previous Vogues coach Harris. It has gone from horrible to just plain bad so there is improvement.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
