11 students interviewed said this happened.
So that sounds different than what my kids experienced. In that situation there was only a best friend of the kid who said anything happened, and there was plenty of evidence showing that it couldn’t have happened the way the one kid and his parents and one friend said. The allegation made the newspaper, though, and the whole community was in shock. I wonder how many stuck around to find out that the coach had been maligned just because of player time, or lack of time, on the field.
I think this is an awful situation. I never want anyone to be molested or abused in any way, shape, or form. I will pray for everyone involved.
