How safe are high school athletics and does it matter who you play?
Lincoln High School’s football head coach Aaron Hart resigned from the job last Friday after three years, claiming player safety concerns as the primary reason. Lincoln High School’s head football coach Aaron Hart resigned from the job last Friday after three years, claiming player safety concerns as the primary reason.
“I could cry right now talking about it,” Hart continued. “But ultimately, what tipped the scale is I have a son that plays for me, and he’s graduating this year, and I just honestly wouldn’t want him to play through that schedule.”Seattle’s Roosevelt High School finished last in the Mountain Division with an 0-10 overall record, and will now move down to the Sound Division, replacing Lincoln.
Private school athletic programs also have a history of seeking and hiring high-profile coaches who can occupy part-time employee roles just for a season, which allows them not to have to fill a teaching requirement.
“If you’re a private school that can recruit within a 50-mile radius, instead of owning your district’s borders, and you can offer material compensation in the form of scholarships, you do have a recruiting advantage over a public school, even if the public school also tries to get students in the door,” Andrew Lanier, producer of The Gee and Ursula Show, said.
“Coach Hart decided to step down in protest of the two-tier system in hopes that the district would adopt the alternative schedule that Lincoln’s Athletic Director, Brent Brakke, created and proposed to Monte Kohler, the representative for Metro Football and head coach for O’Dea’s football team,” Jon Mathis, a Lincoln High football player and team leader, wrote in an email.
