"I can't tell you how proud I am of the young men on this team.
They have worked hard all
season and this will be a memory that they can carry with them for the rest of their lives.
I
never had the chance to play for a state title in high school,
but I can tell you that I am honored to be a part of this with these fine young men. We have fought through a lot of adversity over the
last few weeks and I think that the way the team
played Saturday night shows great character.
It was my goal when I became the head coach at Trinity
to develop a quality football program to compliment the academic curriculum. I believe we accomplished that goal in the two years
I have been here. I regret that I will not be given the opportunity to provide
the underclassmen with the same experience. Unfortunately, for reasons that I do not agree with and
emphatically deny, the administration has made a decision to relieve me of my duties as an
employee of Trinity School. I have never condoned
hazing and certainly
was not aware of any hazing incidents until it was brought to my
attention by the administration immediately prior to my termination supposedly related to the incident. The last three weeks have been an emotional
roller coaster, and right now I would like the opportunity to reflect on and enjoy what we accomplished this season, and I ask that you respect my family's
privacy during this difficult
time."
