And now, the lastest news is the Principle, Cheryl Swider, has appointed her self Head Coach. Oh man!
If my son played on that team he wouldn't be suiting up for any more games until the REAL coaches returned.
The "progressive" discipline policy should not apply to athletics. Liberals suck.
Someone should tell Swider she is no Goldie Hawn.

Holmdel Principal Cheryl Swider will serve as the team's head coach, and vice principals Bill Loughran and Richard Coppola will assist in tonight's game, according to interim Schools Superintendent Mark Franceschini.
At an emergency meeting Thursday, the school board took less than 10 minutes to appoint a dozen new assistant coaches and accept the resignations of all 10 of the team's paid staff, including former head coach Joseph O'Connor, who resigned Monday over a flap with the board.
O'Connor's resignation triggered a chain reaction resulting in the team's nine assistant coaches abruptly quitting two days later.
The new assistant coaches, the majority of whom are parents of current football players, were recommended by high school Athletic Director Laurie Cancalosi after each volunteered Thursday. Their unpaid appointments are effective immediately, according to the resolution.
"The game will go on,'' Franceschini said. "The show must go on.''
All three resolutions accepting the resignations and appointing the new assistant coaches were passed unanimously, with board members Susan Howard and Mary Hartnett absent.
Oh, yeah, that'll work real good.
"They play with a ball and, and, they have uniforms, and, oh yea, and they have cheerleaders too!", Swider was heard to exclaim. /sarc
