While I do not know what caused the need for this discipline, I applaud Coach Jones. These freshmen are hopefully learning a valuable lesson, and one also about what it means to be a team. You win together, you lose together.

They have several more years to play football at the high school level. I hope they earn the right, and regain the trust of Staff, in order to represent their great school in the future.

I know Danny Jones and the high standards of behavior he expects in students and student-athletes he leads. Whatever the offenses were that led to the forfeiture of a game, I’m sure Danny made the right decision.

An important lesson for parents of these student-athletes is for them to support the head football coach. Doing less will send a sorry message to their children.

Finally, a coach with the guts to do the work that the parents of the kids haven’t been doing. Good job coach Jones.

I do not know the reason for Coach Danny cancelling the game but I applaud Coach Danny for having the courage to make a decision he knew he would get a lot of back lash for. If I had a son on his team this is the kind of role model I would want for my child.

He was hired to coach, let him coach. If the parents want to be the coach, they can apply for the position.
