I attended the Arlington football game last Friday night and was amazed at a scene that took place just behind the south end zone.

I was having a nice discussion with the lovely wife of Postplayer (wow, he married out of his league!) when I witnessed the Arlington girls basketball coach verbally rape a group of parents from the visiting team. Seems the group parked their blanket on the west side of the endzone (supposedly Arlington turf) and was cheering their team on when Mr. Girls Basketball takes it upon himself to instruct this group that they needed to move. It wasn't a request, he created a scene!

I was embarrassed for the group of folks, but much more embarrassed for the Arlington athletic program. What a shame to see a school representative act in such a manner.

I know he is 'royalty' in Arlington since winning a state championship with his girls basketball team, but come on, use better judgement. He is an Arlington High School representative and he needs to act professionally.

I have been traveling to Arlington for football games since my younger days of rooting on my Riverdale Alma Mater and let me tell you the "facilities" that Arlington supplies is not enough to fit the Vanlue Marching band, so when a group of visitors has to sit, on a blanket, in the endzone, I think it is understandable.

Shame on you, Mr. Girls Basketball and shame on the Arlington School District for not reprimanding your actions!

Heard there were some interesting summer league games this past summer also...

I thought he was getting out at the completion of last season? If not he will wish he did seeing the (lack of) talent that Arlington has coming up.

I did not see what happened but it was the talk the next morning at work. I was told by a coworker from Findlay that was there with a friend from Artlington that he was way out of line even saying anything. This Arlington person was embarrassed by his actions his exact words were he made a A** out of him self. But I think this being on this site kinda buries it not a lot of people looking at the Girls BB site right now.

Considering this was probably one of the largest gates A-town will have this football season you would think all of the Devil's staff would be more than welcoming. It was standing room only all around the field so the LB fans probably picked a place to stand that had some room. We have all sat by oppossing fans before, it can be annoying but you keep your mouth shut and deal with it or move. A-town def gets a black eye due to his actions.

Might want to double check the lack of talent comment. Arlington will be decent this year and in the future.
