Parents looking a dragon fly….there is a person called an athletic director that should be checking this. Our taxpayers pay for these folks to do this
Reidsville in trouble??
- Thread starter buzzcoach
- Start date
Think you on track to what I was getting at.
Have you ever seen an AD’s salary for what they do? Most have to teach classes also. I am not defending what happened, just saying there’s usually not a big line for people wanting to do this job. Those responsibilities are the reason why some counties do not allow AD’s to coach also. I think the county you are in does not.
For the last few years, Mount Airy has had 2 or Co-Athletic Directors and they also have other positions.
One is EC Teacher, the other is a Student Support Center Coordinator & may hold another position. Both of these ADs are ladies. That was as of 2023-2024, and not sure what 2025-2026 will bring.

Parents want to make every other decision in the school system these days so maybe they should take some responsibility as well.
You realize they have to create an account complete, and upload the documents right? So they have access to all the information that ADs do as well. I'm sure many of these parents argue over the fact they even have to do this paperwork.

All Head coaches and the AD have a checklist on Dragonfly this has to be looked at and boxes checked off for every athlete. It is verified and NCHSAA has it. The eligibility checklist has students grades, picture copy of physical, grade, address, and school and sports they play in to name a few. At my school the Head Coach has to do this checklist and the AD verifies it. Also parents/guardian has to fill out there part on Dragonfly.

At the end of the accountability is needed. Unfortunately at the end of the day the teams will be held accountable. Seems like the AD is already on leave pending completion of the investigation. Even if wins or championships are vacated( which would be surprising) it doesn’t change the fact that they were champions. Rules are in place for safety. Also as parents we need to confirm our kids have everything needed. I confirm that all my child’s paperwork is turned in and correct as well as make copies. Grades are kept up with weekly as well. Hopefully this will not affect wins or championships.
Not sure why it would surprise you if wins and a championship are vacated. Many teams have forfeited for less. If players play without proper paperwork they are ineligible. They might as well not live in your district. Lol
Don’t be surprised if vacating wins and a championship is all that happens. There may be a financial penalty. Fines usually go with these types of things but also repayment of any playoff money earned from gates where ineligible players participated.
Some will recall an incident involving E Alamance Football about 10 years ago that cost the Eagles quite a bit.
Emergency school board meeting today in Rockingham County. Not sure if it has anything to do with this situation.
I'm curious if they get penalties going forward also. Like a playoff ban for this coming season. Because if something like that was to happen I would wonder if kids abandoned ship
I know nothing about the situation, but my bet’s on The Mule.
Yes you are correct AD in my county cannot coach. My AD also does not teach any classes and is a 12 month employee and makes probably 70k….not to bad money in the education world. Grimsley AD I know doesn’t teach either.
Bottom line is Reidsville is only good in two sports just make sure you got your ducks in a row with those two sports. If you get in trouble with the other sports no one will care
"If you get in trouble with the other sports no one will care"
So your advocating for an AD to just worry 2 sports and let eligibility just be whatever for the other sports? No physical, sure go play baseball. You failed 3 classes in the fall? Well go run track but make sure you've got it figured out by football season.
I'm sure the parents and players will also care if those ducks are in a row for the unimportant sports you speak of.

I’ll end with this….I would definitely make sure everything is good to go with football and basketball because it draws the most attention and has the most chance to get investigated…..if I was gonna f up it would def be in any other sport besides football and basketball. If you don’t understand that your an idiot have a nice day
Sounds lazy to me. But hey try and throw an insult. More typical lazy behavior when you know you're in the wrong.
I get it and understand the situation far more than your tunnel vision mind obviously does.
Have the day you deserve
Gotta love the "your an idiot" comment too. Sometimes the jokes write themselves 🤷♂️
