If Fort Hill has to forfeit all games but the homecoming outcome, what will the 1A west now look like!

I don't believe that the kid got any playing time the first couple of games, but it really doesn't matter too much. My understanding is that he had a Maryland address. Anyway, Fort Hill will beat everyone in the West, it doesn't matter where they play.
I'm hearing that the Frankfort coach made the complaint. He was mad that the young man wouldn't play for him. I think that I'll be calling WV about the FH kid who lives on Mexico Farms Road who is playing for Frankfort. Give him a taste of his own medicine.

This is not true and this should be taken down, it is false information.
You know it isn't false? Tell me about it I'll listen. I have friends and relatives in Ridgeley and Fort Ashby. I have gone to watch Frankfort on more than one occasion, and I've heard the rumblings since this young man showed up at Fort Hill. There are people over there that hate Fort Hill and rejoice anytime they lose. If Whiteman comes out and says that his staff was not involved in this, I'll go along with it. But I know what is being said in Ridgeley. I'll even say I'm sorry and that I was wrong, it wouldn't be the first time.
100% sure it was not any of the Frankfort Coaches, in any of the sports. More along the lines of someone who wanted their child to attend an Allegany county school lived out of state called the board office and was told of the cost so did not initiate the transfer. That person reported the family and then the investigation was launched and then the findings were revealed. The player in question has two younger siblings who attend Frankfort School also.
The bad blood goes both ways between FH and Frankfort but it is mostly the adults in the communities who harbor this hate. The kids get along fine and Coach Whteman and Coach Alkire have a very good relationship.

I can assure you that it did not. I will also say that I hope Fort Hill wins the appeal and does not have to forfiet their wins. The address given to the school was not the address the student was living at. That is not a school or sports program issue. You cannot punish coaches and athletes for something that was not of their fault.
There is no bad blood from Fort Hill to Frankfort. Nobody cares about Frankfort. . They’re football program is irrelevant.
It must not be too irrelevant Tony. There former head coach called our All-State QB after his junior year and asked him to come over to FH. He did not leave, to loyal to his friends and classmates. That is a fact based on a conversation with that player. In addition to that Friend, Poling and Raley were all lured away not by FH coaches but rather faithful FH fans who saw it necessary to bad-mouth Frankfort and their athletic programs. If we are irrelevant then why did their faithful deem it necessary to entice kids from the Frankfort district to jump ship?
I also know of many other players from other schools who ended up at FH. I'm not saying that they were recruited but they did enhance your roster and succes by transferring. I have no bad blood toward FH, I respect their program and what they do. I did not intend the post to go this way. But you choose to make a deragotory comment when it was not necessary.
That in itself bring up another point. I'm a WV guy so I have no dog in the fight. Honeslty we are more worried about competing at the state level in WV and I don't hear much mentioned about FH over here.
However, I do hear of hatred for FH from Alco, Mt. Ridge, Northern, Southern and even some die-hard long-time FH fans. It's never about FH's football program, players or coaches but rather the small but vocal group of fans who love to belittle and degrade other programs and their athletes.

It was Brian Hansel that turned FH in. not directly but pushed the agenda. I have full confirmation and don't care. rules are rules. he will never beat them on the field so hansel has to do other things like the helmet gate.
Frankfort loses in the playoffs year after year after year in a notoriously weak division. I just say they irrelevant because I have never heard anyone anyone at Fort Hill even mention Frankfort football . they won’t even play Fort Hill. A kid claiming that they were recruited by Fort Hill is most likely wishful thinking by that kid. Have you ever heard of the saying if you build it they will come.. That’s a true statement.
I will agree to disagree with you Tony. The young man was recruited but did not go. Other players were enticed by FH faithful from not only our school but others. AA football in WV is not weak. Fairmont Senior, Bridgeport, Bluefield are all programs comparable to FH. I’m never going to tell you FH is not a great program they are. But some of what you are saying is not factual but rather your opinion.
I’m out after this post so let’s leave it at this. I wish FH all the best and hope they grab another state title. I also hope we can make a run this year. All in all it would be great for area football.

You are right. Bridgeport and Fairmont Senior are excellent football programs. I forgot they were in the same division before . They’re not with Frankfort now.
Shouldn't matter as I'm sure they had valid permits or the kid(s) were living with relatives in MD. Again, a legitimate permit is key.
FH is wearing a #88 sticker on their helmets today. Guess family is family.
Just win football games and all else will take care of itself.
