If this had been a Scottsdale school, this story would attract all of the vicious hatred and condemnation imaginable. It would continue to gain momentum until it made national news and then some political hack would jump in demanding an investigation. The weak Scottsdale school district and administrators would hide behind their desks remaining invisible and silent hoping for some other story to garner the headlines. Meanwhile the coaches would be left hanging out there without anyone covering their back. Finally, some AIA official would make a statement that cuts right down the middle and declare the situation over. Final hateful comments would emerge from the peanut gallery and it would finally fade away.

Thanks for clarifying what I saw on TV clip vs your commentary on same.
The pressure AGUANO is under at Chandler was minimal as you are not reading
what the REAL PRESSURE has been according to Hierachy at Chandler HS.
My reading is no different than Whiz Man of the Cardinal's selecting Kolb to be his starting QB and he throws interceptions left and right with Whiz Man staying with Kolb for 2 games and 2 LOSSES. Hard to fathom, but in reality, it's the Real World of HS
Athletics, Note all the firing's lately in local circles.
That being said, I think Belles handled it well, considering the flippant arm and hand of Aguano. That is a "culture thing", almost like the Italian side I possess,
I also talk with my hand's, and if you are taller than me, I tend to reach out more and maybe slightly touch you, OOps, that was an" Italian Slip."
Let's wait until Chandler HS is beaten by Hamilton in BASKETBALL. Guarantee
the students will storm the court, but guarantee Coach Hartwig will congratulate his coaching staff, then glad hand the "frustrated Wolve Coach" but Kevin, quick
"DUCK."
Thanks for the recap on the "yip YAP" of both Coach's.

I actually find this article funny! Love how Chandler High Coaches didnt commen bahahahaha! Would be nice if as a writer your did your research before this articel. IF YOU HAD........ you would have known that the Chandler School Administration called the Hamilton Administration adn told them that "WHEN" they won the gamne, their students WERE going to storm the field and take down the goal post and that Chandler would pay for the damages! That is why the HUGE police presence. How interesting when the roles are reversed and Hamilton ONCE AGAIN sticks it to Chandler, Those students have EVERY RIGHT to storm the field protect their home turf and celebrate! Belles stood by quiet with class when MP stormed their field! Chandler our big mouth, thug sore lossers! I PROMISE you had they won their students ane parents would have stormed Hamiltons field! Thank you for teh Police Department keeping all the Chandler gang banger fans in check!

Here's a wild idea - how about the adults stop posing and posturing for a silly football game, or football in general, and start concentrating on what SCHOOL is actually for - LEARNING.
To anyone wondering why American students constantly score below those of other countries...THIS IS WHY.
